Marco Silva's long-expected departure from Hull City is imminent, with the Portuguese manager reportedly planning to inform the club of his decision to leave later today.

Silva is linked with a number of jobs, and is Gino Pozzo's number-one choice to take over at Vicarage Road following the departure of head coach Walter Mazzarri on Sunday.

The Portuguese manager, who narrowly missed out on keeping Hull in the Premier League, has also held talks with Porto in his native country, and is claimed to be a target for Crystal Palace too.

Silva is free to leave Hull after signing a short-term deal until the end of June when he arrived at the start of the year.
