Marco Silva has not committed to remaining as Fulham manager beyond this summer despite a three-year contract offer from the club. The Portuguese coach, whose deal expires at the end of June, told Match of the Day on Sunday that a decision has not yet been reached.
"I have not decided," said Silva following Fulham's 1-1 draw at Wolves. "I understand the fans want to know the future of the club. Myself and the club cannot communicate something when the decision is not made."
Silva described this summer as "one of the most important for the club's future" and indicated a thorough review lies ahead.
"We are going to have meetings, I am going to analyze," he said. "I believe there are many things to analyse and you need to be calm in this moment to address many, many things."
Silva had been linked with the Chelsea vacancy before Xabi Alonso was appointed Sunday. Those close to Silva say he holds ambitions to manage at the highest level, though he has previously demonstrated loyalty by rejecting multiple approaches from Saudi clubs. A return to Portuguese football has not been ruled out, with Benfica potentially needing a new coach if Jose Mourinho departs for Real Madrid.
Silva took charge of Fulham in 2021 when the club was in the Championship and guided them to promotion in his first season. He has since delivered three successive top-half Premier League finishes. Fulham sit 13th with one match remaining but have not won in three games, effectively ending their European qualification hopes.
