Liam Rosenior: Hull City set to appoint former Tigers player as head coach

Liam Rosenior is going to be the new head coach of Hull City.

He will sign a contract with the club on Wednesday, according to the radio station.

He was a player for five seasons with the Tigers and will replace Shota Arveladze who was fired in September.

This will be Rosenior's first permanent managerial role.

His first game in charge is likely to be at Millwall on Saturday and he is expected to be at Hull on Tuesday.

Rosenior was part of the side that won promotion to the premier league and reached the FA cup final in the same year.

Bruce's side were demoted from the premier league to the second tier in 2015.

After joining Derby as a coach under Philip Cocu, Rosenior became Wayne Rooney's assistant in January 2021.

After entering administration, the Rams were deducted 21 points and couldn't keep their place in the Championship.

Rosenior was placed in interim charge after Rooney left.

He oversaw a huge rebuild of the squad, with 14 new players brought in, and lost just three of his 12 matches in charge, but left in September when Paul Warne was hired.

The Tigers had a good start to the season, but they lost four in a row.

The caretaker has won three of his six matches.
