And it has now emerged that Fulham boss Silva has also held talks with the executives of Ineos in their search for a possible successor to Ten Hag.
Silva has cemented his reputation at Craven Cottage. After initially guiding the club back to the Premier League in 2022, the Portuguese has built a team that has remained comfortably in the top flight over the past two seasons.
Silva’s future could come under scrutiny again this summer as he emerges as a possible replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo at Nottingham Forest.
Santo’s future at the City Ground is unclear as we head into the summer and Silva has admirers at Forest.
