The Portuguese manager is set to join the Toffees after reaching an agreement to replace Sam Allardyce this summer
Marco Silva is set to be appointed Everton manager after putting the finishing touches on a deal with the Premier League side, Goal understands.
Everton’s new director of football, Marcel Brands, has been involved in the decision to hire the 40-year-old, who was also the first choice of the owner Farhad Moshiri, and an announcement is set to be made in the next 48 hours.
Silva tried to leave Watford for Everton to replace Ronald Koeman last autumn, but the Hornets resisted their rival's offer of around £12 million ($16m/€13.
