Quick exits

Since starting his managerial career at Estoril back in 2011, Silva has had six different clubs, including Everton.

The Portuguese coach left Hull City after just five months and lasted only half a season at Watford following interest from Everton, as reported by The Mirror.

Stability needed

Everton fans will hope that Silva remains at Goodison Park for the entire duration of his contract, or at least for next season.

The Toffees need stability and a defined playing style in order to challenge for the Premier League top six on a regular basis in the coming years.

The Merseyside outfit have a decent squad, and they should be looking to add to the team and make some signings in the summer transfer window.
