Fulham’s search for a new head coach is ongoing, with the club indicating it has two main candidates in mind to take over from former manager Marco Silva, according to statements from Fulham vice-chairman and director of football operations Tony Khan. The BBC Sport report says Khan identifies “two leading candidates,” without naming them, suggesting discussions are at an early or selective stage as Fulham consider their options.

A separate report from Soccer News adds more detail on Fulham’s preferences, stating the club favours two candidates “in particular.” It also claims that Álvaro Arbeloa is among the candidates and is described as the leading favourite to succeed Silva at Craven Cottage. The reports do not provide further confirmation on the full list of candidates, any offer structure, or timelines for a decision.

Both sources agree that Fulham are actively recruiting and have narrowed their focus to two candidates in discussions about replacing Silva.
