The longest-serving manager of Fulham since 2007 can aim high
The longest-serving manager of Fulham since 2007 can aim high Fulham under Marco Silva has had a fantastic start to the season. They are currently in the top half of the Premier League after five games and have only lost once, a closely contested 1-0 loss at Manchester United on opening night. With their Portuguese head coach, they are about to embark on their fourth season, and fans are genuinely hopeful that this could be the best one yet. Following their dominant run to the Championship title in his first season as manager, Fulham ended 2022–23 in 10th place with a points-per-match [PPM] of 1.37 and 2023–24 in 13th place with a PPM of 1.24. Naturally, it’s early, but as of 2024–25, their PPM is 1.6, on track to be the highest since
however astute substitutes Crystal Palace’s Joachim Andersen and Sander Berge have gotten off to a confident start. Emile Smith Rowe, who had a record deal with Wolves and had extra cash, made a quick adjustment, and Adama Traore and Raul Jimenez seem to be reuniting as the dynamic duo they once were. After agreeing to a new contract in 2023, Silva will remain at Craven Cottage until the end of the 2025–2026 season, making him the longest-serving Fulham manager since Chris Coleman from 2003 to 2007. After securing one top-half top-flight finish so far, he will be desperate to secure another before leaving west London. Silva might, however, have even greater goals in mind.
