Alex Iwobi has revealed that Fulham's players are still waiting for clarity over who will replace former manager Marco Silva, with discussions around potential candidates continuing behind the scenes.
Iwobi made the comments during an appearance on The Warm Up, where he addressed growing uncertainty at Craven Cottage following Silva’s departure to join Benfica.
The Super Eagles midfielder admitted the squad initially reacted with concern when the news broke, explaining that there was immediate speculation among players before communication eventually went quiet.
“Obviously when we got told that Marco was leaving, I was active. Thinking, ‘Oh no, who are we going to get in next?’ But ever since then, it’s been pretty quiet," he said as quoted by talkSPORT.
Iwobi added that while there has been no official update from the club regarding a replacement, the players remain professional and are simply awaiting an announcement.
“But I’m sure people are waiting for the message to say, ‘This is who we’re going to get.’ But no-one has said anything yet, but we’re just patiently waiting,” he said.
Reports have linked Fulham with several managerial candidates, including former Real Madrid interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa and Coventry City boss Frank Lampard, who previously managed Iwobi at Everton.
The 30-year-old, who has become a key figure for Fulham since joining in 2023, emphasised that stability will come once a decision is made, adding that the players’ priority remains supporting the club’s direction regardless of who takes charge.
