This is a modal window.

Walter Mazzarri's decision to leave Watford leads Shaka Hislop to believe there are further problems happening behind the scene.

Watford have confirmed the appointment of former Hull City boss Marco Silva.

Silva, 39, has signed a two-year deal at Vicarage Road after opting to leave Hull following their relegation from the Premier League.

Watford made Silva their top target after parting company with Walter Mazzarri last week having seen the Portuguese come close to guiding Hull to safety following his appointment in January.
