Hull City appoint Rosenior as head coach

Hull City have appointed Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Rosenior started the season in interim charge of League One Derby and replaces Shota Arveladze after the Georgian was sacked in September.

He was at Tuesday's home defeat by Middlesbrough and his first game in charge will be at Millwall on Saturday.

Rosenior made 144 league appearances in his time with the Tigers and was part of the side that won promotion to the Premier League in 2013 and reached the FA Cup final the following year.

He left for Brighton after Steve Bruce's side were relegated from the Premier League in 2015 and retired from playing after the Seagulls won promotion to the top flight in 2017.

Hull are one point and one place above the Championship relegation zone.

The club have announced that Andy Dawson, who won three of his seven matches in caretaker charge, will remain on the the coaching staff.
