Marco Silva has enjoyed great success since leaving Everton in December 2019.

The Portuguese head coach has established himself as one of the best managers in the Premier League with Fulham, guiding them from the Championship to become a top 10 side in the top-flight.

In fact, the Cottagers are genuine challengers for European football this season, as they could qualify for the UEFA Conference League in eighth place.

Marco Silva agrees to join Saudi Pro League club

There have been whispers about Silva potential leaving Fulham at the end of the season, but many expected it to be for a top European club.

Tottenham Hotspur were looking at Silva to replace Ange Postecoglou, who is expected to leave the North Londoners in the summer.

But, surprisingly, it’s just emerged that the former Everton boss has agreed to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

The reigning champions have received the green light from Silva and will appoint him as their new manager if they can’t land their first choice.

Silva could bow out with Fulham record

Silva could be managing his final three games for Fulham and he has the chance to create history with the West Londoners.

Roy Hodgson achieved their record points total in the 2008/09 season, amassing 53 points to finish seventh.

Silva’s side are currently on 51 points, so they only need three more to break the record, although, they do have tough fixtures coming up.

Funnily enough, next up is Everton before a trip to Brentford and then a home clash against Manchester City on the final day.
