Marco Silva was appointed manager of Everton on Thursday, replacing Sam Allardyce and bringing to a close a lengthy pursuit of the former Watford and Hull boss by the club.
After almost 8 months out of work, he returns to a Premier League club despite only managing to achieve six points from a possible thirty at his last job.
Everton are yet to agree a compensation package with Watford for tapping up their former head coach.
With the jury out, these were the best jokes as Marco Silva is appointed Everton manager:
Can't believe Marco Silva was so heartbroken about Everton that he actually waited for them, that's some real love

How long until Everton fans think they'll get Zidane?

Looking forward to the Goodison crowd chanting "MARCO" "SILVA" from one end of the stadium to the other.

Fair play to Everton on hiring Marco Silva.
He's left both PL clubs he took over on a high, so can see why they wanted him.

Sadly, the club are to announce Marco Silva as their manager instead today. Missed opportunity imho.

£50 to the first Watford fan across the pitch to headbutt Silva at Everton away.

Ironically Silva has the exact same hair I would have had if I hadn't been following Everton for the last 35 years.
