After turning down Benfica, Ruben Amorim could replace… Marco Silva | OneFootball

Fulham are active in the market in search of a new manager for the 2026/27 season, after officially confirming the departure of Marco Silva, who turned down a contract renewal and chose to move to Benfica. The London club wasted no time and has already begun the succession process, with several names being considered for the role.

In recent days, British radio station talkSPORT pointed to Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna as one of the options most appreciated by the cottagers’ hierarchy, while Thomas Frank, who has been out of work since leaving Tottenham last February, has also emerged as another strong candidate.

Meanwhile, according to English outlet TeamTalk, the list of possible managers has been expanded with more high-profile names from European football. Among them is Ruben Amorim, who left Manchester United at the start of January, making him an option under consideration by the English club. The Portuguese coach rejected an offer from Benfica, which paved the way for the agreement with Marco Silva.

The same source also adds the name of Arne Slot, recently dismissed by Liverpool, as well as Frank Lampard, the current Coventry City manager, who led the club to promotion to the Premier League and is seen as a more difficult option to secure. Kieran McKenna also remains on Fulham’s shortlist.

The London club want to speed up the process of choosing their new manager, in order to ensure stability before the start of pre-season. The board considers it essential to close the matter as quickly as possible, since planning for the transfer market and the new season depends on defining the technical leadership.
