Hull City are believed to be set to sack manager Ruben Selles on Thursday despite the manager's role in helping the team stay in the Championship on the final day of the season, according to reports.
The Tigers have endured a season to forget on the heels of sacking former manager Liam Rosenior after their seventh-place finish in the 2023-24 campaing.
But while Rosenior is enjoying a miraculous Champions League-place tilt with Strasbourg in Ligue 1 a year on, Hull were mired in a spell of unimpressive form for much of the season.
Tim Walter, who was appointed in Rosenior's stead, was sacked in November after overseeing just 17 league games, the club hovering dangerously in the relegation zone.
But while there has been no major uptick in the side's form under Selles, the head coach's appointment in December steadied the ship in part and the club were able to stay up on the final day by virtue of goal difference.
However, despite ensuring that the club did not drop down a division, Hull owner Acun Ilicali is believed to be convinced that Selles should move on.
As per BBC Sport, the Turkish entrepreneur has reached a decision over the head coach, and the news is set to be publicised on Thursday.
Selles joined Hull from fellow Championship strugglers Reading, on the heels of a stint at Southampton which saw him promoted briefly from caretaker manager to head coach.
