Fulham in talks with Alvaro Arbeloa for managerial position

Fulham has opened negotiations with Alvaro Arbeloa to appoint him as their new manager. This move follows the departure of Marco Silva, who has officially joined Benfica. Sources report that Arbeloa recently left his role in the Real Madrid coaching setup, where he had been a successor to Xabi Alonso. The vacancy at Real Madrid was filled by the return of Jose Mourinho this summer. Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna has departed Ipswich Town, reportedly choosing to take a break rather than pursue new projects. Fulham identified Arbeloa as their primary candidate to lead the team following these structural changes. No final agreement has been signed yet between the club and the manager.
