Fulham owner Shahid Khan has promised fans the club will look to appoint a new manager “in a timely but deliberate manner”, following the announcement of Marco Silva’s departure.
The billionaire promised to take the Cottagers to “the next level” after purchasing the club from Mohamed Al Fayed in purchasing the club from Mohamed Al Fayed in July 2013.
After a few seasons bouncing between the Premier League and the Championship, the club has sustained its top-flight status since promotion in 2021-22 under Silva.
In a statement published by Fulham, Khan said: “Marco Silva leaves our club with my gratitude and best wishes.
“We were an excellent fit for five seasons, but change is inevitable in this game and we have accordingly prepared for this moment.
“The talent in our squad, our historic home ground of Craven Cottage, our faithful supporters and my commitment to backing the club, all make Fulham an extraordinarily attractive destination for an incoming head coach.
“We will soon appoint a new leader in a timely but deliberate manner, who will meet the standards of our club and expectations of our fans throughout the world.”
