Fulham offer new deal to manager Silva

Fulham have offered a new contract to manager Marco Silva, whose deal expires at the end of the season.

The Fulham board want the Portuguese - who had grievances over the club's summer transfer window - to extend his four-year stay at Craven Cottage.

The 48-year-old accused the club of being "passive" on the eve of the Premier League season and they finished the transfer window having spent about £40m on five players.

The Cottagers have endured a difficult start to the campaign and sit one point above the relegation zone in 15th place.

The former Everton and Watford boss, who signed a three-year contract in 2023, earned promotion with Fulham in 2022 and has kept the club in the top flight since then.

He has been linked in the past with vacancies at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
