Carlo Ancelotti has been appointed as the new manager of Everton, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract.
The Italian, a three-time Champions League-winning coach, returns to English football eight and a half years after he was sacked by Chelsea.
On his appointment, Ancelotti said, "There's a clear vision from the owner to deliver success."
He will officially take over on Sunday and his first match in charge will be the home game against Burnley on 26 December.
Ancelotti has won 15 major trophies during his career and is one of only three managers to win three European Cups/Champions Leagues.
He will be joined by Duncan Ferguson, Everton's caretaker manager during their search for Silva's successor, who will remain at the club as part of Ancelotti's backroom team.
