Fulham head coach Marco Silva is on the verge of agreeing a deal to manage Benfica following the impending expiration of his contract at Craven Cottage this month.

The 48-year-old has been offered a new deal by the Premier League side but has so far refrained from committing his future to the London club.

Formal confirmation regarding his departure from the English capital is yet to be announced.

However, negotiations between the Portuguese tactician and the Lisbon giants have advanced significantly in recent days.

Return to Portugal looms for experienced coach

An agreement is now understood to be firmly within reach for the former Everton and Watford manager.

A move to the Estádio da Luz would mark a high-profile return to his homeland, where he previously enjoyed domestic cup success.

Fulham now face the daunting prospect of searching for a new leader ahead of the upcoming top-flight campaign.
