Crystal Palace have offered Marco Silva a Premier League lifeline, according to reports.

Silva quit Hull City following a meeting with the relegated club’s owners on Wednesday night.

And the Guardian says Palace, who were rocked by Sam Allardyce’s resignation earlier this week, want the Portuguese coach to boss them next season.

Hull looked dead and buried before Silva arrived in January, and the former Olympiacos manager took them to within the brink of safety.

But a 4-0 defeat to Palace on the penultimate day of last season condemned the Tigers to the Championship.

And despite relegation, Silva is a man in-demand with Watford and Porto understood to be chasing him.
