It is claimed that Fulham could turn to the former Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City boss.
The former Swansea City and Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal could replace Slavisa Jokanovic at Fulham, the Sun reported on Saturday (Goals pullout, page 4).
The newspaper claims the Portuguese is a contender to take over if Jokanovic is sacked.
Fulham have lost their last four Premier League fixtures under the Serb, conceding 17 goals in the process.
And appointing Carvalhal, who the Sun describes as a ‘defence expert’, could therefore appeal.
The 52-year-old helped to tighten up Swansea’s back line after taking over midway through last season, but was known for implementing an attractive, attacking style in his early days at Sheffield Wednesday.
Wednesday twice reached the play-offs during Carvalhal’s reign, while Swansea narrowly avoided what would have been a great escape from relegation under the former Sporting CP and Besiktas head coach.
Fulham travel to bottom-three rivals Huddersfield Town later on Monday.
Would the former Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City boss be a good fit for Fulham?
