BBC:
"One of the early candidates to succeed Silva is reported to be his compatriot, Shanghai SIPG's Vitor Pereira.

The club said they aim to appoint a new manager "as swiftly as possible"."

Reuters:
"British media reported former Everton boss David Moyes is favourite to replace Silva.
Moyes, who had a successful 11-year stint in charge at Goodison Park from 2002-13, is expected to be joined by former Socceroos midfielder Tim Cahill as part of his coaching staff."
Telegraph:
"Vitor Pereira has emerged as Everton’s first-choice to become their new manager ... The highly-regarded 51-year-old is keen to move to the Premier League and is believed to also be on Arsenal’s radar having previously been considered by Chelsea.
...
Pereira is currently one of the highest-paid managers in world football earning €23million a year but clearly will not receive anywhere near that salary at Everton. He is also a serial winner having won league titles in Portugal, back-to-back titles with Porto, in Greece with Olympiakos and in China where he guided Shanghai SIPG to their first ever league title. Pereira has also coached in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Pereira was interviewed by Everton before the appointment of Roberto Martinez in 2013 but did not get the job at that time partly because he did not have a grasp of English. But he now speaks the language fluently."

"New Watford manager Nigel Pearson says they will need a "collective buy-in from everybody" to stay in the Premier League.
...
"This strikes me as a club with an identity that maybe we need to redefine on the pitch."
...
Pearson has got previous form in pulling clubs out of trouble having done so with Leicester in 2014-15. The Foxes spent between late November and early April at the foot of the Premier League before eventually finishing 14th after a remarkable late run.
They went on to win the league the following season under Claudio Ranieri."
