Chelsea sporting directors agree to name Marco Silva among top candidates

Chelsea's cabal of sporting directors have reportedly agreed to make Fulham manager Marco Silva one of thier top candidates to replace Liam Rosenior.

The West London club are once again in the hunt for a new manager following the disastrous tenure of Rosenior, 41.

Chelsea lost five consecutive Premier League games without scoring a goal but managed to reach the FA Cup final with a 1-0 win over Leeds under interim boss Calum McFarlane.

According to Standard Sport, Chelsea have added Fulham manager Marco Silva to their list of top candidates, alongside Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola.

Silva is out of contract in the summer, and his Fulham future is in major doubt.

The report adds that some senior figures at the club are confident he’ll sign a new deal, while others aren’t.
