Hull appoint German coach Tim Walter on three-year deal | OneFootball

Hull have confirmed the appointment of German tactician Tim Walter.

Walter replaces Liam Rosenior who was sacked the day after the season following the Tigers failure to reach the Championshio play-offs.

Walter signs on a three-year deal having previously coached Stuttgart and Hamburg.

Hull City Chairman Acun Ilıcalı said: “Tim was always our first choice. We had many strong applicants and wanted to be thorough in our recruitment process, but it quickly became clear that Tim was the outstanding candidate.

“Our discussions were detailed and productive in planning for this season and I am encouraged about how we can work together to the benefit of our club.

“I believe in Tim’s philosophy and in doing so, I am hopeful that over the forthcoming season he can continue our positive progress and upward trajectory. I wish him the very best of luck!”
