My guess is Slav has gone home to his family and is having a well earned rest. So where do stories like this one on twitter come from. And who in their right mind would want to go there

Fulham boss new favourite for Middlesbrough job - The72
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has emerged as the bookies' favourite for the Middlesbrough job.
the72.co.uk
After travelling around the country for the best part of a decade following Fulham. I'd have to say Middlesbrough ranks as one of the biggest sh1tholes. If not the biggest.
Thus backing your statement "who in their right mind wold go there"
You have to give them credit though, because this must make it more difficult to attract players too.
Especially after he reiterated his want to stay, urged the board to back him, almost made the final and has a squad of players to his liking.
Firstly its the bookies not the Oracle, secondly its the funny season, no football to speak of so no news.
More importantly you make the choice of managing in the Championship ( and who knows he may get the chance to manage in La Liga or the Prem) but the Championship it is, who do you choose? Boro, an industrial City in the northeast with average at best infrastructure and by most objective judgements not the greatest place to live ( in my biased opinion a sh8thole, only beaten by Sunderland as worst place in the Championship next year to be based.) Fulham, by the Thames, lots of options to go home to Spain and lots of friends?
Steve Gibson is a good owner but Shahid Khan has given Slavisa basically whatever he has asked for so lets this one rumour hopefully slide away...
The fact he is probably home in Spain is irrelevant to some degree, if he was interested his agent or he can still let it be known, he doesn't have to be here for that. With our finish I think he will stay, but Boro have a fortune to spend it he wants that
As the best team not to be promoted from the championship it's completely normal for our players and managers to be the subject of all the speculation.
Let's see khans metal.... I think we will find it's pretty strong
if he does go.... and that is a big if..... i do not think boro will be the team. why would he go there?
I think if he left us it would surely have to be for a team nearer his familly OR a step up in division or perceived status.
IMO. I think given the board properly back him, then I suspect he wants to stay and complete what he has started.
Never read a bigger pile of garbage in all my life.
Nose beat me to it. Of ALL the teams who are rumoured to be interested in Slav, Middlesborough is most likely the bottom of his list if he was to consider a change.
Watford and Palace are both looking for a manager, I would think a London Premiership job would be more attractive than Championship Boro.

Slav walked away? from Watford after he got them promoted so I don't think he'd go there
Watford only keep their managers for one season anyway
The only draw to Boro would be Gibson, who is a great owner. He does invest at the right times, and he has a history of standing by his managers.
Other than that, Slav would be nuts to go there!!
The draw of Boro as you say is Gibson, and also a the parachute payments.
Slav has already said we need to be smart and active in the transfer window, so he wants the right people in , and wants them in early. I reckon if he's not given what he wants, he has the right to be off. No point chasing our own tail like we did last season until it clicked.
Boro wouldn't be anyone's cup of tea but Slav has been in many weird places in his career from Tel Aviv to Thailand... even Stamford Bridge!
I would be more worried of a Palace approach

They talk about "Beer Goggles"........"Money Goggles" filter out a lot of the surrounding scenery.........
Of course , victor Valdes and negredo weren't there this year to check out the scenic pollution
Palace want to talk to him Talksport saying.
Not worried about him wanting to go to Boro but Palace is a concern if true. Would be appealing to him for certain.
The bookies favourites for the Palace job are Marco Silva and Claudio Ranieri... Let's hope one of these two comes to pass.
Times reporting Slav has a release clause that allows him to go to a Premier League club.

Yep, that's now under discussion on Twitter. That + Palace feels not good. Let's hope Palace go for Colman who is the other rumor.

Coleman has told Palace not interested.

That was also bad news.
Can't honestly see Salv going to Palace. OK, they're Premier League, but, it could end up being us next season, and them in Champ. No a lot between both clubs in my opinion. I think the clause is there, just in case a bigger Prem club comes in for him, or, he doesn't get Fulham up next season.
Lets be clear, anyone who doesn't want to stay will be allowed to leave.
However, he is one year into the Fulham project and I think he would want to do another year. If we don't get promoted this season then I am sure he will leave.
As the side playing the best football in the division, it is natural that the people who made us good are desirable by other teams.
If they start to leave then we should worry, but as yet they haven't. The silly season has started and the papers need stories.
Simply solved.
Statement on the website from Slav, 'Flattered by the rumours but I'm going nowhere, I've got a job to finish'. The longer that doesn't appear the more rumours we will read/hear unfortunately.
Until anything actually happens I wont believe it but it still makes for a nervous summer hoping we keep Slav, TC, Sess etc. I just hope Khan really does put his money where his mouth is and pays to keep them all and brings in a few more so we have a real shot at promotion and it wasn't a one season wonder. We won't know that until Sep 1st though!

He stated that Palace is appealing? Blimey I missed that report!
Or are you just scaremongering? Slavisa has said this is a project he wanted and will finish. Personally, he comes across as a honest man who has ambition! I believe he will stay and work on what he's started. If it fails or he doesn't get the backing then I wouldn't blame him, but for now I think he's happy and sees progress. He has put a good team together, not just on the pitch but also backroom.
Well he will not be going to Watford. Marco Silva appointed as head coach.
Don't think Slav will say to much about definitely staying.He will hopefully get a better transfer budget staying stum.
