Championship club Hull City are said to be lining up a deal to bring in a new manager.

The Tigers are close to sacking Liam Rosenior, despite the 39-year-old winning the Championship Manager of the Year award.

Rosenior led the club to a top half finish for the first time since 2016, but The Telegraph states it is not enough to keep him in the job.

The club have identified former Hamburg manager Tim Walter to take on the job.

The 48-year-old has not worked since he was sacked by the German club in February.

But he is said to be a serious contender for the Hull job and may well want to make the move.
