Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior has been sacked after failing to guide his side into the Championship play-offs, BBC Radio Humberside understands.
Rosenior, who had agreed a three-year deal in December, steered the Tigers to seventh place in the Championship this season – their first top-half finish since 2016.
The Humbersiders’ 1-0 defeat by Plymouth on Saturday meant they missed out on the play-offs by just three points.
But Rosenior’s efforts were enough to make him one of three nominees for the Championship manager of the season award, won by Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna.
The 39-year-old, who was in charge for 18 months, spent five years as a Hull player and helped them to gain promotion to the Premier League in 2013.
He returned to the MKM Stadium to succeed Shota Arveladze in December 2022, having previously worked as assistant under both Phillip Cocu and Wayne Rooney at Derby.
Rosenior steered Hull to a 15th-place finish in 2022/23 before overseeing their unsuccessful play-off challenge this season.
