Hull City next manager: Ex-Sunderland, Leeds United and Barnsley men among favourites to replace Liam Rosenior

Hull City have a head coach vacancy following their decision to part company with Liam Rosenior.

The 39-year-old is widely considered to be among the country’s brightest young managers but has paid the price for failing to guide Hull into the Championship play-offs. A defeat to Plymouth Argyle on the final day of the regular season, as well as a win for West Bromwich Albion, ensured Hull finished seventh.

Rosenior had been backed in the transfer market and a number of high-profile signings were made in the January window, Among those through the door was playmaker Fabio Carvalho, who joined on loan from Liverpool.

Despite the additions, Hull fell short and were criticised at times for failing to make the most of their possession. Many expected Rosenior to be given the chance to lead another promotion push next term but he has now been relieved of his duties.

If Hull are to avoid squandering progress made on Rosenior’s watch, they must now make a shrewd managerial appointment. With that in mind, here are the early BetVictor favourites to succeed Rosenior.
