Iwobi: Fulham Players Still Awaiting the Identity of Their Next Manager

Alex Iwobi said that Fulham’s players have not yet been told who will replace former manager Marco Silva.

SILVA departed Craven Cottage earlier this month to become the head coach of Portuguese club Benfica.

Former Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa has been a leading name linked to the vacant position at the West London club.

Iwobi added that he does not expect it to be difficult to adapt to a new manager, having worked under Marco Silva for several years.

“Yeah, I mean, I can only go off my experience with the national team and at Everton,” Iwobi said during his appearance on The Warm Up with Max Rushden and Charlie Baker on Sunday.

“I’ve had several managers there, so it won’t be difficult for me to adapt. We’ll be ready to play whoever the manager is.”

Connection With Frank Lampard

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has also been linked with the Fulham job.

The former England international is set to sign a new three‑year contract with Coventry despite holding negotiations with the Whites.

“Of course, I’ve worked with Frank Lampard before and he’s someone I really enjoyed working with,” added Iwobi.

“But I don’t really mind as long as the manager that comes in wants to help better the club and so do the players. So whoever the manager is, we’re ready to work with them.”
