Fulham are considering a move for former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim after Marco Silva's exit. Silva has left Fulham to take charge of Benfica in Portugal.

What happened?

Fulham are working to appoint a successor to Silva, with Amorim's name discussed as a potential candidate. Journalist Ben Jacobs reported that Amorim is on the club's shortlist.

Why it matters for Fulham

Kieran McKenna was a leading contender for the Fulham job, but he announced that he is taking a break from football. Other names in the frame include Coventry City's Frank Lampard and Palmeiras' coach Abel Ferreira.

What comes next?

Fulham have also held initial talks with ex-Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who is a free agent after leaving the Bernabeu. The club are keen to assess all options before making a decision on Silva's successor.
