da dobrowin： Watford boss Marco Silva has emerged as Everton’s top candidate for their managerial vacancy, but they are having trouble prising him away from Vicarage Road.
da pixbet： The Daily Mail recently reported that a second offer of £8.5m to break the Portuguese coach’s contract was rejected by the Hornets.
Numerous media outlets have suggested that the Toffees have not given up on the 40-year-old, who took over at Watford just six months ago.
Silva impressed during his short spell at Hull City, despite the club suffering relegation to the Championship.
The ex-Olympiacos boss guided the team to four wins in his first four matches at home and they also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, where they were beaten across two legs by Manchester United.
Richard Dunne, who came through Everton’s academy and spent four years in the first team, believes that the Toffees need to meet Watford’s demands if they want to get Silva through the door.
The former defender told talkSPORT:
“They have had enough time to sort it out and it is a surprise coming back into the Premier League [after the international break] and them still having no manager,
“If they want Silva from Watford, they should pay whatever is needed to be paid and get it done. The performances have not been good enough this season and they need to turn it around quickly.”
