Marco Silva refused to accept that he proved a point to the Everton hierarchy after he made a winning return to Goodison Park.
Silva was appointed Everton manager ahead of the 2018/19 season and guided the Blues to an eighth-place finish in his first season in charge. However, his second campaign didn’t go according to plan, and he was sacked in December 2019 after a 5-2 defeat to Liverpool.
The Portuguese spent just under two years out of the game following his dismissal from Everton before returning to management with Fulham at the start of last season. He then helped the club return to the top-flight at the first time of asking.
