Hull City boss Marco Silva is reportedly wanted by Southampton, Watford and West Ham United.
Hull City manager Marco Silva
According to The Telegraph, Marco Silva could receive offers from Southampton, Watford and West Ham as well as current employers Hull City this summer.
Silva, 39, was the surprise choice to replace Mike Phelan as Hull boss back in January, and his appointment was met with bemusement by pundits, who couldn’t understand why the Tigers had gone for somebody with no experience of English football.
Formerly of Estoril, Sporting Lisbon and Olympiakos, Silva had a strong CV, and he has made a mockery of those who questioned his appointment with some superb results.
The Portuguese boss has given Hull more than a fighting chance of staying in the Premier League, and he has won eight of his 19 games in charge, with the club’s home form particularly impressive under Silva.

Unsurprisingly, Silva’s exploits have attracted admiring glances, and The Telegraph report that Silva could have offers to manage four clubs next season; Hull, Southampton, Watford and West Ham United.
Whilst Hull want to keep Silva if they stay in the Premier League, their three Premier League rivals are all considering managerial changes, and have Silva on their wish list should they require a new boss.

Southampton have blown hot and cold under Claude Puel, and may move on from the Frenchman after just one year in the job amid rumours of friction with his players, whilst Watford have yet to look impressive under Walter Mazzarri.
West Ham will be considering Slaven Bilic’s position as manager this summer, and Silva’s impressive work at Hull means he is emerging as a potential replacement, with his future set to be decided this summer.
