Everton have appointed former Watford boss Marco Silva as their new manager.
Everton have been without a manager since parting ways with Sam Allardyce, who was sacked by the club earlier this month after less than six months in charge at Goodison Park.
Silva takes charge of his third English side, following spells at Hull City and Watford.
"I'm really proud to be the new Everton manager," Silva told the club's official website. "I'm excited and I'm really happy to take this big challenge for us as a club and for me as a manager.
"I want to express my thanks to Farhad, to the Chairman, to the Board of Directors and to Marcel as well for the confidence in my work.
"I know the huge history of Everton as a club and what the fans expect. I'm sure with everybody working together I will be ready for this challenge."
Silva was originally a candidate for the Everton job after Ronald Koeman was sacked in October. However the club were forced to back off after Watford accused them of tapping up their manager.
The Hornets have since made an official complaint to the Premier League over the approach and a mediation meeting held between the two clubs in April failed to resolve the issue.
The Premier League may be forced to convene a commission to find a suitable conclusion to the row, which could end with Everton paying a suitable compensation figure to Watford.
Silva becomes the second high-profile arrival at Goodison Park this month, following the recent appointment of new director of football Marcel Brands.
"Marco is a young coach but also an experienced coach and he's worked already at the top, while also gaining experience of the Premier League which is also an important factor," Brands added.
"One of the most important things is that he's a guy who wants to play attractive, attacking football and also wants to work in the structure we have at Everton.
"He's a guy who has proved already that he wants to work with young players, make them better and he has performed very well with the teams he's worked with. He will be a very good manager for Everton."
