Hull City boss Marco Silva has become Watford's first choice to replace outgoing Walter Mazzarri at the club, according to the Express.

The Hornets announced on Wednesday that they have decided to part ways with Mazzarri, who arrived at the club last summer.

Meanwhile, Silva is expected to hold talks over his future with Hull in the coming days. He reportedly has a clause in his contract which allows him to walk away in case of relegation.
