Silva Departs Fulham for Benfica

Fulham confirms Marco Silva's departure as the Portuguese manager is set to become Benfica's new coach.

Fulham has confirmed that Marco Silva is stepping down as their manager, with multiple reports indicating he is close to taking over at Benfica. This would mean Silva would coach both Norwegian international Andreas Schjelderup and Fulham player Fredrik Aursnes at the Portuguese club.

Silva has been with Fulham since 2021, overseeing the development of Norwegian players Sander Berge and Oscar Bobb. The 48-year-old has been coaching in England since 2017, with previous stints at Sporting, Olympiacos, Hull, Watford, and Everton. musojam.blog
