ICYMI: EVERTON SET TO APPOINT SILVA LONG-TERM
23/05/18
Marco Silva could be confirmed as Everton's new manager next week and the club want him at the helm for a long time to come, Sky Sports News understands.
While several candidates remain under consideration, Silva is understood to remain their first choice to replace Sam Allardyce and owner Farhad Moshiri hopes he will still be in charge in at least five years' time.
Moshiri hopes Silva will take the club into its new £500m, 55,500-seater stadium at Bramley Moore Dock in the 2022-23 season, and the Portuguese is set to sign a long-term contract with that in mind.
Silva has consensus across the Everton boardroom, with newly appointed director of football Marcel Brands a known admirer of his work.
