Another summer, another new Watford head coach.
Hot on the heels of Walter Mazzari's departure from Vicarage Road, former Hull City boss Marco Silva has agreed to become the latest in a long line of new Hornets managers.
Sky Sports broke the news minutes ago, confirming that the Portuguese manager had turned down overtures from FC Porto to become Watford's eighth manager in just five years.

Silva took the reigns at Hull City in January and was tasked with maintaining the club's Premier League status. Despite not being successful with his assignment Silva was, in truth, always fighting a losing battle to save the Tigers from relegation and wasn't too far off accomplishing his goal.
Silva won a third of the Premier League games he oversaw as manager and also recorded credible draws away at Manchester United and Southampton.
Having signed a two-year-deal with the Hornets, will Silva manage to last longer than the likes of Mazzarri, Quique Sanchez Flores and Slavisa Jokanovic or will the former Olympiacos and Sporting CP manager be heading for the dole queue come next summer?
