Previously, Marco Silva had been in charge of Fulham since 2021. During his tenure with the Cottagers, he managed 229 matches, achieving 104 wins, 42 draws, and overseeing 83 assists.
In the last season, Fulham finished 11th in the Premier League and failed to qualify for European competitions for the next campaign, which became one of the reasons for Silva's departure from the club.
