Marco Silva can win a trophy at Fulham, says Louis Saha

Former Fulham striker Louis Saha believes Marco Silva is still only scratching the surface of what Fulham can achieve—and insists that the club has not yet reached its full potential under the Portuguese manager.  Saha made it clear that Silva has already brought structure, stability, and ambition to Craven Cottage—but more significantly, he sees major silverware as a real possibility.

Silva, who took charge of Fulham in July 2021, led the team to the Championship title in his first season and has since consolidated their Premier League status with smart tactics, resilience, and a clear identity. Now in his fourth season at the helm, he’s the seventh longest-serving manager across England’s top four divisions—a rare show of continuity in the modern game.

For Saha, that continuity is key. He sees Silva as the architect of a Fulham side that has moved beyond mere survival and into a phase where European football—and even a domestic trophy—are achievable goals. He praised the team’s consistently competitive performances, their tactical discipline, and the belief Silva has instilled.

Silva’s Legacy in the Making
Saha believes Fulham need to evolve from stylish play to winning ugly when necessary — the kind of maturity needed to turn a good team into a trophy-winning one.

Rodrigo Muniz’s Achilles injury has disrupted Fulham’s attacking threat, with the Brazilian’s eight goals proving crucial. Saha stressed that both Muniz and Raul Jiménez could become 20-goal strikers if Fulham continue building around them.

Fulham’s final games of the season could define how serious they are about European qualification—and whether Silva is backed with smarter recruitment this summer. Saha is convinced that with Marco Silva in charge, trophies aren't just dreams—they’re targets.

Do you agree with Louis Saha—can Fulham win a trophy under Silva?
