The Everton coach will be the man in the dugout for the upcoming Chelsea match.
With no permanent manager ready to be announced, coach Duncan Ferguson will now take charge of the team against Chelsea, despite a lack of senior management experience.
Silva leaves following a 5-2 hammering at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield, hot on the heels of other poor results in the English Premier League this season.
They currently occupy one of the three relegation spots in the division having won just four matches from 15.
The upcoming visit of Chelsea isn’t likely to be much easier, but the hope will be there is some sort of reaction from the players while the club go about the task of appointing a permanent boss.
Some fans are certainly not happy that Ferguson will be taking charge, feeling that the length of time he’s been coaching the team makes him complicit in failures over the years.
Whether that’s an unfair assessment or not remains to be seen, but it’ll certainly be interesting seeing a character like him in the dugout this weekend.
He was a combative, fierce competitor as a player. There’s also no doubt he has a strong love for the Toffees.
Will that passion transfer to his team against the London club?
These fans took to Twitter this evening to share their thoughts on it all…
