Marco Silva is the man to keep Hull in the Premier League, insists Tigers midfielder Shaun Maloney

Hull midfielder Shaun Maloney is convinced head coach Marco Silva has got what it takes to keep the club in the Premier League.

The Tigers' point from Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley at the KCOM Stadium, Silva's sixth league game in charge, was not enough to lift them out of the bottom three.

But Maloney said the Portuguese has lifted the sense of forboding and replaced it with an air of confidence.

'I think just overall, from the last six to eight weeks since the manger came in, there's just been a massive turnaround among the squad and the supporters,' Maloney told the club's official website.
