Kieran McKenna Is The Favourite In The Next Fulham Manager Odds Market To Replace Marco Silva

The next Fulham manager odds market has been published here on BetVictor after it was confirmed that Marco Silva has left the club. Silva quit the Cottagers upon the expiry of his contract on June 2 and as it stands, there is one clear favourite to replace the Lisbon-born gaffer.

And if the leading market contender gets the role, he’ll need to hit the ground running to follow on from Silva’s productive five-year stint in west London. The Portuguese boss won the 2021-22 EFL Championship in emphatic fashion and since then, has firmly established the Whites in the top-flight.

Silva reportedly turned down mega-money offers from Saudi Pro League sides Al-Ahli and Al Hilal to commit himself to the Londoners two years ago. But now, with a move back to Portugal edging closer, the next Fulham manager odds market clearly points towards an up-and-coming boss with a fine reputation in the English game.

Next Fulham Manager Odds: Kieran McKenna Leads The Betting

With two promotions to the Premier League already to his name, Kieran McKenna is currently 6/4 to join Fulham. McKenna is one of the most respected managers in English football after his achievements with Ipswich Town.

Many considered McKenna to have defied football betting odds when he led the Tractor Boys from League One to England’s elite in two seasons. That feat put him firmly on the map. Although he wasn’t able to keep the Suffolk-side in the big time in 2024-25, McKenna demonstrated he has what it takes to mix it with the best.

And that is why Fulham are reportedly keeping tabs on the Northern Irishman. McKenna is on the brink of his second stint in the Premier League but the lure of overseeing an established side would be the next natural step for the 40-year-old.

Thomas Frank, Frank Lampard And Oliver Glasner Short Prices For Fulham Job

After his brilliant work at west London rivals Brentford, Thomas Frank is available at 3/1 in the next Fulham manager odds market. The Dane won promotion with the Bees in 2020-21 and helped the club to numerous mid-table finishes.

Elsewhere, Frank Lampard – who is 10/1 in the next Newcastle manager odds market – can be backed at 4s for the Cottagers job. Similar to McKenna, the Chelsea legend is already set to manage in the big time this year with Coventry City.

The likes of Oliver Glasner (8/1), recently-fired Liverpool boss Arne Slot (10/1) and Bodo/Glimt tactician Kjetil Knutsen (16/1) are all worth considering. In terms of former Fulham managers and players, Scott Parker, Luis Boa Morte and Liam Rosenior feature prominently.
