Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan wants head coach Marco Silva to stay at the club "forever".

Silva, who joined the club in July 2021, has re-established Fulham as a Premier League side since their return to the top flight with finishes of 10th and 13th.

Despite defeat by Bournemouth on Monday, Fulham are still competing for a European spot next season.

"We're having a tremendous season. We have got a great team, we have a great coach with Marco Silva and we have a great squad," Khan told BBC Radio London.

"We have so many great players, a great dressing room, these are really great people on and off the pitch. And we have the best fans. It is a really exciting time at Craven Cottage and at all our matches.

"The team has had a really great season and everyone is really proud of them and really looking forward to the run-in."

Silva's impressive time in charge of Fulham has left some fans concerned he could get poached by another team, but Khan is hopeful of him staying for a long time.

"Marco is a huge, huge asset to Fulham Football Club," he added. "He is such an amazing person and he is so important to the football club.

"Marco has a great relationship with my father and myself, and we really love Marco and we want him to stay at Fulham Football Club forever. He is a huge part of what we have got going for the future and the present and he is a great man."
