Curbishley, 52, left Upton Park during September 2008 after falling out with the then Icelandic owners over the sale of Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney to Sunderland against his wishes, and subsequently won a case for constructive dismissal, which included damages reported to be more than £2m.
However, Curbishley - who performed wonders during his 15-year stint at Charlton and was interviewed for the England job in 2006 - admits he is now unsure when he will return to the game.
"I was told I was on the [Fulham] shortlist but that there were a couple of people ahead of me, so I knew that was going nowhere," Curbishley said in the London Evening Standard.
"I have got to wait and see if the phone rings.If you look at my career, my average position in the Premier League is 10th, so that is where I need to be looking."
