Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is among the favourites to take over at Fulham following Marco Silva's departure.
The Cottagers confirmed this afternoon that the Portuguese manager will leave the club when his contract expires this summer, having secured promotion and established them in the Premier League over a five-year stint in the capital.
Silva is expected to take over at Benfica, with current boss Jose Mourinho set to return to Real Madrid.
The Fulham job is now one of four vacancies in the top flight at the moment. Enzo Maresca and Andoni Iraola are expected to take over at Manchester City and Liverpool respectfully, while Lens' Pierre Sage is the current favourite to manage Crystal Palace.
It remains to be seen who Fulham will turn to next, but TalkSPORT report that they are interested in McKenna.
Many bookmakers have picked out the Northern Irishman as a candidate. BetVictor have installed him as 2/1 favourite for the job ahead of Thomas Frank (6/1), Oliver Glasner (8/1) and Arne Slot (10/1).
A spokesperson for BetVictor said: "Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna is the 2/1 front-runner to replace Marco Silva at Fulham. McKenna, is the clear favourite ahead of Thomas Frank at 6/1 and Oliver Glasner at 8/1.
"Recently sacked Liverpool manager Arne Slot is 10/1 to takeover at Fulham while ex-Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior is 12/1 in the market. Notable outsiders for the job include Mauricio Pochettino (16/1) and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer (20/1)."
McKenna is widely reported to have an £8m release clause in his current contract at Ipswich.
