The Club can confirm the appointment of Fernando Ferreira as Men’s First Team Goalkeeping Coach, following Hugo Oliveira’s request to return to Portugal to take up a management opportunity there.

Having worked together at Hull City, Watford and Everton, Marco Silva also brought Oliveira with him to Fulham when he was appointed as our Head Coach in the summer of 2021.

Popular with the players, Oliveira was part of the backroom team who have helped the squad enjoy tremendous success over the past three-and-a-half years, and we wish him the best of luck in his new challenge.

Ferreira arrives having held similar goalkeeper coaching roles at Sporting Clube de Portugal, Real Sport Clube and, most recently, Benfica.

Welcome to Fulham, Fernando!
