# Xavier tips Everton to flourish under Silva’s management

Everton will enjoy plenty of success under Marco Silva’s management, according to former Toffees defender Abel Xavier.

Speaking to the [club’s official website](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2018/09/07/xavier), Xavier outlined just how talented of a coach Silva is as he continues to adjust to his new surroundings at Goodison Park.

After a season filled with uncertainty, the Toffees’ hierarchy opted to appoint Silva as their new manager in the summer.

Everton have since overseen a solid start to the season, going unbeaten in the first four Premier League fixtures and comfortably progressing through to the third round of the Carabao Cup.

Xavier discussed why Everton fans are sure to take to Silva as a manager given his demand that the team play high-quality, aggressive football.

> Evertonians will like Marco Silva’s thinking and I am certain he will raise the team’s level. Everton fans love their team to be competitive and aggressive. But they also love good football.

> Marco is a coach who improves players and, when you watch his teams, it is clear what he is asking from them. He has had a positive influence at all his previous clubs and quickly assembled a very good squad at Everton.

Everton will be hoping to continue their strong start to the Premier League season when the international break draws to a close at the end of the week, with a fixture against West Ham next up for the club.
