Everton have officially sacked manager Marco Silva after Wednesday night's humiliating defeat against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.
Silva, who joined the club in May 2018, was on borrowed time after a run of form which has seen the Toffees win just once in their last six Premier League games.
The loss on Wednesday saw Everton drop into the relegation zone and that was clearly the final straw for the board at Goodison Park who have decided to dispense of Silva's services heading into the busy festive period.
Everton have won just four of their 15 Premier League matches this season, losing nine, but the manner in which they were torn apart by their neighbours on Wednesday suggested Silva's reign was beyond repair.
Marcel Brands, the Director of Football, and Alexander Ryazantsev, the Chief Financial Officer, were angrily gesticulating in the Directors' Box at Anfield while fans left early as they watched Everton fall to another defeat across Stanley Park.
Silva has followed former Everton manager Ronald Koeman, who was sacked after a 5-2 defeat to Arsenal in October 2017, out the door after an embarrassing loss.
Today's decision by the club finally puts Silva out of his misery following weeks of intense speculation about his future.

It's the origi curse: 1. Origi scores against spurs in the UCL final. Spurs have a bad start to a season and sack Pochettino. 2. Origi scores against watford at anfield. Watford have a bad start to the season and sack two managers in 4 months. 3. Origi scores against Arsenal in a 5-5 draw twice, arsenal struggle and sack emery. 4. Origi scores against Everton, next thing that happens is Marco Silva getting sacked. 5. What barca fans want right now is Origi to score against Barcelona

EPL became sacking league very sad to see some great coaches sacked after sacrificing everything for the club's. Marco's Silva is a hardworking n well motivated coach but this season Everton is doing anything to help him achieved his aims. I'm ready saddened by his dismissal 😔 come back stronger Marco's Silva

Can’t say I’m surprised Marco Silva has got the sack. A very overrated manager who achieved nothing at Everton, Watford or Hull. If Everton reappoint David Moyes it’ll be even more of a backwards step
