The decision was made as part of a coaching restructure by Wolves' Chinese owners Fosun following an end-of-season football review.Really interested to see how he does.
He did an excellent job with Colchester and Norwich.
Then he made the ridiculous decision to take over Villa. A big club with demanding fans but massive financial mismanagement for over a decade resulting in an ageing squadand no money.
He then took over Blackburn, another club run ridiculously badly.
No idea what happened at Wolves but interested to see how he does with a Prem club again.
Watford are mental! They should of took the money that Everton were offering for him 2 months ago!Marco Silva out at Watford. https://twitter.com/WatfordFC/status/955023871706652677

Oliver Kay of the Times says the offer then was 8.5m quid! wow..Watford are mental! They should of took the money that Everton were offering for him 2 months ago!

Marco Silva out at Watford. https://twitter.com/WatfordFC/status/955023871706652677

I suspect you may see Silva at Southampton before end the month!
Watford turned down £9m from Everton and are now rumoured to be paying £6m to Silva to leave. Crazy money. My brother is livid as stuck with Fat Sam now
This is especially so because it was only a few months after he was appointed at Watford, which itself was rather lucky given he'd gotten relegated with Hull. People say he did a good job at Hull. Well, at the start he did...but he ended up getting relegated nonetheless. Was fortunate to get the Watford job after that IMO, and then thought he was Billy Big Bollocks and could get cute the first time a better job came along.
To be fair, watford is a poison chalice club. Job’s a poison pill and always the wrong club for him. He was always going to be sacked in the summer. Even getting CL wouldnt have done it. The results fell off so they sacked him now. He’ll be at Saints shortly. Which is where he should have been at the start but he took Watford before Saints made the awful decision to sack Puel.Fuck Marco Silva.
"Will you be going to Everton?"
"No."
That's what he should have done, but signally didn't. He played footsies with the press for days about it, wilfully declining to give a straight answer. Incredibly disrespectful and immature.

If I were on the Watford board - and yes, they're nutcases - I'd have lost faith & trust in him on the spot.
All his own fault. Results dropped off a cliff after that. Fuck him. Got what he deserved.

Because I think Everton were offering very good money for him. I think a lot of the Sliva hype is just that, hype. For the money they were being offered I that Watford could have got someone reasonable in.Why would they let a manager go just a few months after appointing him and midway through the season? They weren't to know the impact it was going to have on their season. The manager had a contract and should have said that he was committed to Watford. He's just made himself look incredibly mercenary with his attitude to the Everton job.
