' Championship Club New Manager Named '
Hull City have appointed Grant McCann as their new manager, the Championship club have confirmed.
The 39-year-old former Northern Ireland midfielder moves from League One Doncaster Rovers to succeed Nigel Adkins, who was unable to agree a new contract with the Tigers.
McCann said: “I am delighted to be here and I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead.
“I am a very ambitious person and I always have been. To be in the Championship is the next step for me, and I’m pleased to be taking that step with a great club like Hull City.”
“The KCOM Stadium is an impressive place, the training ground is excellent and there is a strong squad of players here. Hopefully we can have good times together and a successful season.”
McCann, who has previously managed Peterborough, will be assisted by Cliff Byrne – his former Scunthorpe team-mate and part of his staff as he led Doncaster to the League One play-offs in his one season in charge.
