Hull City have sacked head coach Tim Walter after a run of nine games without a win brought a fall into the Championship’s relegation zone. Walter only began his role at the MKM Stadium in July, signing a three-year deal to replace Liam Rosenior.

City's squad will now prepare for Saturday's 12:30pm kick-off against in-form Middlesbrough, with assistant boss Andy Dawson taking over, just as he did two years ago when Shota Arveladze was dismissed. Both of Walter's coaches, Filip Tapalovic and Julian Huebner have also moved on.
