Arne Slot rejects Fulham's offer to become Premier League manager
Former Liverpool manager Arne Slot turned down an approach from Fulham a week after leaving Liverpool, ruling himself out of the club’s search for a successor to Marco Silva, who is set to join Benfica. Slot said he is not interested in taking charge at Craven Cottage and wants time to consider his next project, with speculation that he may be a candidate for the Netherlands national‑team job if Ronald Koeman steps down after the World Cup.
Fulham’s board must now look elsewhere, with names such as Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, former Lens coach Pierre Sage, and former Brentford/Tottenham boss Thomas Frank being mentioned as possible replacements. Slot’s market value has slipped after a disappointing second season at Liverpool, but his reputation for an attacking style keeps him in demand.
