Everton boss Marco Silva has been handed three matches to save his job.

The Daily Star says Silva has been told he has the next three matches to save his job on Merseyside.

The Portuguese manager has endured a nightmare start to the season with the Toffees, taking just two victories from eight matches played.

Everton, at this early point in the season, find themselves in the relegation zone and Silva has been told time is running out.

Silva believed he would be sacked during the international break, following Everton's lacklustre defeat by Burnley.

Crisis talks are said to have taken place at Goodison, during which Silva was informed the results of the next three games would have large bearing on his future.
