Wednesday 03-06-2026
The Portuguese coach Marco Silva preferred to continue in the European leagues after declining substantial financial offers he received from clubs in the Saudi Roshn League recently.

Portuguese press reports revealed that Silva prioritized his sports project and career ambitions over financial considerations, preferring to continue his coaching career within the European continent.

The sources indicated that the Portuguese coach was not only of interest to Saudi clubs, but also received inquiries and contacts from a Premier League club.

These moves coincided with the negotiations that took place between Silva and Benfica's management, which is seeking to sign him to lead the team in the upcoming season.

In a related context, the English club Fulham announced the end of its contractual relationship with the Portuguese coach at the conclusion of the season, bringing to a close a five-year tenure.

During that period, Silva succeeded in bringing Fulham back to the Premier League after winning the Championship title in his first season with the club.

He also managed to establish the team's footing among the Premier League's top clubs over the following seasons, maintaining its technical stability and competitive standing.

The Portuguese coach left a clear mark on Fulham's recent history, thanks to positive results and continuous work that reflected on the team's performance.

The indications are increasing that Silva is close to taking on the managerial role at Benfica, as he tops the list of candidates to lead the team in the upcoming phase.

The management of the Portuguese club believes that his extensive experience and distinguished record in English football make him the most suitable choice to lead the new sports project.
