Hull City's new coach Marco Silva says he will need to strengthen his squad if he is to perform "a miracle" and keep the club in the Premier League.
Silva, 39, is under no illusions as to the size of his task, with Hull winning only three league games this season since winning promotion back to the top flight in May.
But the confident former Sporting Lisbon and Olympiakos coach, dubbed the "new Jose Mourinho" in Portugal and installed as the sacked Mike Phelan's successor on Thursday, stressed he would not have taken on the job if he did not think it was possible.
