Fulham boss Marco Silva insists he holds no grudge against former club Everton.
Silva has just guided Fulham back to the Premier League, having lasted 18 months with the Toffees.
“Sometimes when football is tough because of bad results, it makes people look for things in a different way from when the results are good,” he recalled to The Athletic. “In the first season at Everton, everything was really good — style of football, developing players, the transfer market, the way we finished the season so strong. And after three months [of 2019/20], because of a bad run of results, it is impossible. I haven’t changed in three months, from one season to another. It’s not because of that.”
Despite becoming extremely unpopular with Everton fans during his final few weeks, Silva believed that he had a good bond with Evertonians.
He said: “The connection was good. The way we finished the first season was really on a high. The style of football we played was what the club asked me as well. We changed many, many things. After, we had a bad run, and the club decided in a different way. I haven’t changed many things.”
