Watford 6-1 for top-half finish under Silva

Watford have appointed Marco Silva as their new manager, beating a number of clubs to the signature of the former Hull boss who left a good impression despite City’s relegation this season.

Sky Bet rate Watford 4-9 to stay in the Premier League next season and it’s 6-1 for the Hornets to secure a top-half finish. Watford, who are 7-4 with Hills to be relegated, finished 17th under Walter Mazzarri this season.

Watford chairman and CEO Scott Duxbury told the club’s official website: “Marco was one of the most sought after head coaches in the Premier League.

“His pedigree and promise speaks for itself with his achievements in top divisions elsewhere across Europe, as well as his work at Hull City.”
