Calum McFarlane has been placed in interim charge for the remainder of the season as sporting directors search for a new head coach.
There are understood to be seven or eight names under consideration, with Andoni Iraola believed to be an early favourite.
Silva is also reportedly a candidate for the job, with the Portuguese manager set to see out his contract with Fulham at the end of the season.
The 48-year-old is yet to sign a new contract and is believed to leave the club at the end of the season after five seasons at Craven Cottage.

“I don’t pay any attention,” he was quoted as saying by the Hounslow Herald.
“We have decisive games ahead of us and all the attention will be on Arsenal and what we have to do against them.”
