Tim Walter sacked by Hull City after 18 games in charge as club languishes in Championship relegation zone

Hull suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, extending their winless streak to nine matches. Currently, they find themselves in the Championship relegation zone.

The club finished seventh last season, three points outside of the play-offs, although sacked manager Liam Rosenior in May before appointing Walter, who has won three of his 17 league games in charge and also oversaw defeat in the Carabao Cup.

Assistant head coaches Julian Hubner and Filip Tapalovic have also left the club.

First-team coach Andy Dawson has been placed in interim charge while the club "conducts a thorough recruitment process for a permanent successor".

Hull added: "We would like to thank Tim, Julian and Filip for their efforts during their time at the MKM Stadium and wish them well for the future."
