If he wins his next match at Newcastle, Marco Silva achieves another unprecedented feat at Fulham
Marco Silva’s career at Fulham was a fairy tale. Having reached the Premier League last season, the Portuguese coach is on the verge of Europe this season and has already equaled the club’s tally in their last appearance in English football’s top flight (28 points from 18 games). but with less than 20 days played.
In 2022/23, Marco Silva added more wins (eight) than in the whole season that would ultimately dictate Fulham’s descent (five) and also surpassed goals scored (30 against 27 in 2020/21).
The team’s competitiveness deserves strong praise in England and the case is no less: Fulham’s squad is valued at €240m, incomparably lower than that of Liverpool, whose stars bring the group’s value to €928m. Chelsea, who are currently in 10th place, have a squad valued at 864 million.
In case of victory in the following match, away against Newcastle, Marco Silva accomplishes another unprecedented feat at Fulham since the competition has been called the Premier League (from 1992 onwards): racking up four consecutive victories, which would further fuel the current state of euphoria from London crest fans.
After guiding Olympiacos to the Greek title (2015/16), this is Marco Silva’s sixth season in England, where he arrived to coach Hull City in 2016/17. He was still at Watford and a season and a half at Everton.
