Everton appoint Marco Silva and expect ‘attractive, attacking football’
Thursday 31st May 2018
New Everton boss Marco Silva hopes to build a "great connection" between the players and fans after being confirmed as Toffees boss on a three-year deal.
The 40-year-old replaces Sam Allardyce, whose style of play came under constant scrutiny. He was sacked at the end of the season after six months in charge.
"I know what our fans expect - they expect results but not only results," Silva explained.
"I want our fans to be proud when they see our team on the pitch."
Everton finished eighth under Allardyce last term but their fans frequently expressed their displeasure at the lack of attacking flair - they scored 44 goals at just over a goal a game - under the former England coach, who replaced Ronald Koeman in November.
