Fulham have reportedly placed head coach Alvaro Arbeloa under increasing pressure, with the Spaniard said to need four points from the club’s next two matches to secure his position.
According to reports, Fulham are expecting a strong response from Arbeloa in their upcoming fixtures against Hull City and Coventry City, with failure to meet the reported points target potentially triggering a change in the dugout.
The two matches could therefore prove crucial for the manager as he seeks to convince the club’s hierarchy that he remains the right person to lead the team.
Reports suggest Fulham are already considering possible alternatives should they decide to part ways with Arbeloa. Thomas Frank and Kieran McKenna have reportedly emerged as potential candidates to replace him.
Frank has previously managed Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur, while McKenna has earned recognition for his work at Ipswich Town.
The upcoming encounters against Hull and Coventry will be important in determining Fulham’s immediate direction, with the manager under pressure to deliver results and ease concerns surrounding his position.
