Fulham have considered a number of options since Scott Parker left for Bournemouth
Fulham have considered a number of options since Parker left for Bournemouth just hours after his departure from the west London outfit was announced.
Swansea City’s Steve Cooper, Chris Wilder, Eddie Howe and Javier Pereira have all been discussed but Silva is now in pole position.
Silva has been out of work since being sacked at Goodison Park in 2019 when the Toffees were in the relegation zone, just 18 months after his appointment.
The Portuguese has also never managed in the Championship before, although he was in charge of Hull when they were relegated to the second division of English football in 2017.
His other stint in the UK saw him manage Watford but he lost half of his 26 games in charge at Vicarage Road.
