Last week, reports from the Portuguese media revealed Fulham’s interest in Casa Pia boss Gonçalo Santos.
It was claimed that with Luís Boa-Morte’s departure, Marco Silva wants another compatriot to be his assistant and chose this new target.
Casa Pia are now preparing for their final game of the season tonight, and Santos is quoted by Record talking about his future.
Without mentioning the Fulham possibility, the coach just could not promise he’ll be at the Portuguese club for another year.
“We’ll have a decision next week. Both parties are on the same page, but there are still a few things to be settled before we can make a decision.”
Casa Pia’s biggest objective had been to escape relegation, and are guaranteed in the first division next year, as they currently stand in 12th in the league table.
As it’s well known, Luís Boa-Morte is set to leave his job at Fulham, where he’s been since 2021, to be the first team manager at Guinea-Bissau this summer.
It should soon be seen whether Santos will take Fulham’s invitation, as despite the opportunity to work in the Premier League, he’d have to accept quitting his job as manager at Casa Pia to become an assistant at the Craven Cottage side.
