Tigers turn to Rosenior as new boss

HULL City have appointed Liam Rosenior as their new head coach, the Sky Bet Championship club have announced.

Former Hull defender Rosenior, 38, who recently served as Derby’s interim manager, has signed a two-anda-half-year contract and replaces Shota Arveladze, who was sacked last month.

The Tigers said: “The former full-back returns to East Yorkshire having made 161 appearances in black and amber during a five-year spell from 2010 to 2015, winning promotion from the Championship in 2012-13.

“We would like to thank Andy Dawson for his efforts as interim head coach and can confirm he will remain part of the club’s coaching staff.

“The full make-up of Rosenior’s backroom team will be confirmed in due course.”
