Fulham boss Marco Silva has firmly shut down speculation linking him with a move to Serie A side Atalanta, insisting his focus remains on the Cottagers' Premier League campaign.
The Portuguese manager, who has been instrumental in Fulham's recent success, was reportedly a target for the Italian club following their managerial reshuffle. However, Silva has made it clear he has no intention of leaving Craven Cottage anytime soon.
Silva’s Commitment to Fulham
Speaking ahead of Fulham's upcoming fixtures, Silva emphasised his dedication to the project at Fulham. "My future is here," he stated. "We’ve built something special, and I’m excited about what’s next for this team."
Under Silva’s guidance, Fulham have established themselves as a competitive force in the Premier League, with a style of play that has won plaudits from fans and pundits alike.
Atalanta’s Interest and Silva’s Response
Atalanta, known for their attacking football, were said to be keen on Silva as a potential replacement for Gian Piero Gasperini. However, Silva’s swift dismissal of the rumours has put an end to the speculation—for now.
"I respect Atalanta, but my heart is with Fulham," Silva added, leaving no room for doubt about his intentions.
What’s Next for Fulham?
With Silva at the helm, Fulham will look to build on their recent progress and push for a higher finish in the Premier League. The club’s supporters will be relieved to hear their manager’s commitment, especially after a season of steady improvement.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Fulham’s recruitment strategy to bolster their squad for the challenges ahead.
