Fulham coach Marco Silva is among the six nominees for the Premier League Manager of the Season award. He faces competition for the award from Arsenal's Mikel Arteta, Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi, Villa's Unai Emery, Man City's Pep Guardiola and Newcastle's Eddie Howe.
Marco Silva has overseen Fulham’s superb first season back in the top-flight, with a record points tally in their sights after pre-season predictions of a relegation fight swiftly proved to be wide of the mark.
Fulham FC statement:
Marco Silva has been nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Season award.
Our man on the touchline has comfortably secured our place in the Premier League for next season, ending a run of back-to-back relegations from the top tier in our last two run-outs.
Having already broken our record for most wins in a Premier League season (15), with two games left to play, Marco is still targeting a top-half finish and record points tally.
Congratulations, boss!
