Hull City have confirmed the departure of Tim Walter as head coach. The Championship strugglers’ 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday was their ninth match without a win and left them in the relegation zone.
The club said in a statement: “Hull City can confirm we have parted company with head coach Tim Walter with immediate effect. Assistant head coaches Julian Hubner and Filip Tapalovic have also left the club.
“First-team coach Andy Dawson will take interim charge while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a permanent successor.
“We would like to thank Tim, Julian and Filip for their efforts during their time at the MKM Stadium and wish them well for the future.”
Walter was appointed at the end of May after the controversial dismissal of Liam Rosenior, despite him leading the club to a seventh-placed finish. The German managed just three wins during his 18 games in charge and has been sacked for the second time this year, after his dismissal by Hamburg in February.
