Hull have sacked their head coach, Rubén Sellés, after less than six months in charge.
The club escaped Championship relegation on the final day of the season on goal difference having been bottom when Sellés was appointed in December. The 41-year-old Spaniard is the third manager sacked by the Hull owner, Acun Ilicali, in the past 12 months and the club now begin their search for a fifth permanent boss since the Turkish media executive took control in early 2022.
Hull said in a statement: “Following a thorough review of football operations after a challenging campaign, the club feels a change in leadership is necessary to move the team forward in line with our ambitions.”
Hull went into the final day of the season in the bottom three and a 1-1 draw at Portsmouth was enough to save them, while Sellés won nine of his 27 league games in charge.

He signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the club when he quit as Reading’s head coach and replaced Tim Walter. Walter had been appointed as successor to Liam Rosenior, who was sacked in May 2024 after guiding Hull to a seventh-placed finish, missing out on the playoffs by three points.
