Who is Marco Silva? New Hull City manager is Jose Mourinho's 'kid friend'

If Marco Silva can match the winning start he set in his last job, Hull City will have little to worry about this season.

Here, Sportsmail looks at the new man who has the hopes of the Premier League's basement club in his hands.
