Overview [ ] The 2021-22 season was Fulham 's 140th season, as the club played in the Championship once more following yet another relegation from the Premier League . Scott Parker had left the club by mutual consent on 28 June 2021, with Portuguese manager Marco Silva taking over in July, and a backroom staff that included former-Fulham favourite Luís Boa Morte .
The season was a storming success, with the club finishing as champions. Silva's attacking style led to Fulham garnering over 100 league goals, with the spearhead Aleksandar Mitrović smashing the Championship goals record by scoring an incredible 43 goals. This equalled the club record of Frank Newton 's 43 in the 1931-32 season . Other stand-out contributors to Fulham 's success was new signing Harry Wilson and academy player Fabio Carvalho , with support from Neeskens Kebano .
Another remarkable feat that occured this season, was the fact that the team recorded three scorelines of 7-0. Two of which were away from home - against Blackburn Rovers and Reading . The other was against Luton Town in the final home match of the season which confirmed them as champions.
The club failed once more to enjoy cup run as they were outed in the 4th round of both the EFL Cup and the FA Cup ; unlucky to be drawn away to the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City in the latter.
Despite the team showing their ability to score plenty of goals and win the title, there were several poor results that ran against the grain of a successful season, especially 4-1 and 3-1 losses to Coventry City , and a 4-0 loss at Sheffield United on the last day of the season. Nevertheless, Fulham were to be a Premier League side once more, making it three promotions in as many Championship seasons for the club.
