Harry Maguire says Chelsea managerial target Marco Silva is ‘amazing’

After reports that the owners want a manager with Premier League experience, Marco Silva has emerged as a candidate after excellent work in recent seasons with West London rivals, Fulham.

His first Premier League job was with Hull City, where he was in charge of a recently-promoted side that included Harry Maguire.

Despite only being in charge for half of the 2016/17 season, the Portuguese manager left a lasting effect on Maguire, despite relegation.

He told The Overlap: “Then we got promoted to the Premier League. Steve actually left that year when we got promoted. And Marco Silva come in and he was amazing.”

Silva’s Premier League credentials have only improved since this spell, taking charge of Watford and Everton before eventually settling at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva falls in line with Chelsea’s transfer policy change

After years of prioritising signing younger players, Eghbali has hinted Chelsea are learning from their mistakes and looking to add experienced heads to their squad.

Silva has consistently built his sides around players with Premier League experience, and would be the perfect candidate to lead Chelsea in this direction.

There are a number of transfer targets who would fall into this category. Anthony Gordon has been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge.

Faith in BlueCo is at an all time low, and a managerial appointment that falls in line with their transfer policy would go a long way to starting to repair that relationship.
