Sergej Jakirovic: Hull City appoint Bosnian boss as head coach

Jakirovic has managed in Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia, and was only appointed head coach of Kayserispor in January.

The former Bosnia defender led Dinamo Zagreb to the Croatian league and cup double in 2023-24.

However, he left Zagreb in September two days after overseeing their heaviest ever defeat, a 9-2 reverse at Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

He is the third appointment at MKM Stadium since Liam Rosenior was sacked in May 2024 after guiding the East Yorkshire side to a seventh-placed finish in the Championship.

German Tim Walter only lasted until November when he was sacked with the Tigers in the bottom three and Spaniard Selles followed him out of the door six months later despite securing second-tier survival.
