Marco Silva: New Everton boss seeks 'great connection' between players and fans

New Everton boss Marco Silva hopes to build a "great connection" between the players and fans after being confirmed as Toffees boss on a three-year deal. The 40-year-old replaces Sam Allardyce, whose style of play came under constant scrutiny. He was sacked at the end of the season after six months in charge. "I know what our fans expect - they expect results but not only results," Silva explained. "I want our fans to be proud when they see our team on the pitch." Everton finished eighth under Allardyce last term but their fans frequently expressed their displeasure at the lack of attacking flair under the former England coach, who replaced Ronald Koeman in November. Silva insisted: "We want to build a great connection between the squad and the fans, and I'm sure that with our attitude and demands of commitment then our style of play will see that, I believe.

Remains of lost World War Two pilot identified in Hawaii

US military officials have identified the remains recovered from a crash site on the Hawaiian island of Oahu as a long lost World War Two aviator. Navy Reserve Ensign Harold P DeMoss crashed in 1945 during a training exercise near Kahuku Point. Due to the remoteness of the site, his remains were only found in 2016 after petitioning from Mr DeMoss' family. Mr DeMoss' remains will return to his family in Tennessee after more than 70 years. Judy Ivey, Mr DeMoss' niece, told the Honolulu Star Advertiser that officials confirmed the identity of the remains earlier this month. While conducting an F6F-3 Hellcat training flight on 23 June, 1945, Mr DeMoss became separated from the rest of the planes in cloud cover over mountainous terrain. The military located the crashed and burning plane the next day, but a search party at the time buried unidentified remains and did not recover Mr DeMoss, according to the Star Advertiser newspaper. Ms Ivey told the newspaper th
