FULHAM are weighing up a move for Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior, according to reports.
Rosenior, who played for the Cottagers between 2003 and 2007, has impressed since moving to France ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Fulham boss Marco Silva‘s future is in doubt, with the Portuguese’s contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Silva, 48, has impressed at Craven Cottage – but could leave amid “tension behind the scenes”.
According to talkSPORT, Fulham are considering Rosenior as a potential replacement, should their current boss depart.
The 41-year-old launched his coaching career at Derby, and worked as the club’s No2 under Wayne Rooney.

Rosenior went on to land the Hull job, being controversially sacked by the Tigers in 2024 after narrowly missing out on a play-off berth.
Nevertheless, the young coach’s impressive work drew the attention of Chelsea‘s owners BlueCo, who subsequently appointed Rosenior as Patrick Vieira‘s successor at Strasbourg.
In his first campaign in charge, Rosenior guided the Blue and Whites to a seventh-place finish in Ligue 1 – bringing European football to the Alsace club for the first time in 19 years.
The Londoner’s impressive work in France has not gone unnoticed by Premier League clubs.
Per talkSPORT, Fulham are not the only club to be keen on Rosenior.
But given their tumultuous situation with Silva, it may be the West Londoners who pounce first.
The Fulham boss has previously held talks with Saudi side Al-Hilal over a potential move.
While he has also attracted tentative interest from Tottenham in the past.
In August, Silva publicly criticised Fulham’s transfer activity.
He said:” At the level that we’re (at), if you think that any moment of your career at this level, any manager, player, or club, if you are comfortable with what you’ve achieved – I think that’s the first mistake you are going to make.
“When I mention ‘We cannot stand still’ it’s because it’s the only way I can be in this job – to always want and demand more, to have the ambition to do more, it’s the way I see it.
“When I have this type of personality, I cannot stand still.”
