West Ham United job may be available as Fulham face fight to keep Marco Silva
West Ham United are among many clubs who could be looking for a new manager this summer with Fulham now facing a fight to keep hold of Marco Silva, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper has reported in its print edition [13 March, pg. 3, The Verdict], that the Irons are among a long list of clubs who could be in the market for a new manager, including Spurs and Chelsea.
David Moyes retains the backing of David Sullivan and the board right now, but Fulham are eager to tie Silva down to a new deal to avoid any possibility of the vultures circling.
“Fulham are eager to tie head coach Marco Silva down to a new contract,” they wrote.
“The managerial market is set to be as intriguing as the player window ahead of next season. The top jobs at Brighton, Chelsea, Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Leicester, West Ham, Leeds and Southampton could all conceivably be available.”
Fight is on.
So, Moyes will know more than most that his job is up for grabs right now, and he will be planning to make sure he is still the best man for the role.
He may believe that, but he is running out of fan support very quickly at the London Stadium, especially with this extremely tiring relegation battle that the club somehow finds themselves in.
After qualifying for Europe in consecutive seasons now, this fall from grace has been irritating, to say the least after a summer of huge spending delivered some big-name transfers.
Silva has been a breath of fresh air compared down the river Thames, pushing Fulham to their own European fight despite that 3-0 loss against Arsenal last time out.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer across the Premier League, with so many clubs potentially looking for new men in charge.
The time for change is here, will West Ham United be involved?
