Richarlison has thanked Marco Silva after struggling Everton made the decision to sack their under-pressure manager on Thursday.
After a humiliating 5-2 defeat to Merseyside rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool left Everton in the bottom three, Silva was relieved of his duties, bringing an end to an 18-month stint in charge.
Richarlison – who played under Silva at Watford – arrived as the Portuguese s first signing in 2018, and has been a consistent performer at Goodison Park, scoring 21 goals in all competitions for Everton, while also establishing himself as a regular in the Brazil team.
The 22-year-old, who has previously referred to the former Hull City coach as a father figure, signed a new long-term deal with Everton this week, and ultimately scored what proved to be the final goal of Silva s tenure – having netted the first two in a 2-2 draw at Wolves on the opening day of last season.
Obrigado por tudo, professor! Especialmente pelo cuidado e atenção que me fizeram crescer e me tornar melhor em todos os aspectos. Jamais vou me esquecer tudo que fez por mim. Estarei sempre na torcida
