HULL CITY have sacked Liam Rosenior despite him being nominated for Manager of the Year.
The Englishman led the Tigers to a seventh-placed finish in the Championship, just three points shy of the playoffs.
Rosenior, 39, had only extended his contract with the club in December.
He had put pen to paper on a three-year deal, however he has only made it through five months.
He took over the job at the MKM Stadium in 2022.
Reports have now claimed that he has been axed by the club after missing out on the top six.
Hull lost their final game of the season to strugglers Plymouth Argyle.
Speaking after the game in what has turned out to be his final interview as manager, he insisted that it had been a positive season.
He said: “The energy and intensity they put into the game, they deserved their win overall.
“Even though results didn’t go our way, we wanted to finish on a really positive note because that would have summed up the season.

“It has been a positive season but we couldn’t quite get over the line today.
“Part of me not quite expected it, but I knew we would be a team that would have to learn on the job.
“Sometimes you can watch us play and we make so many young decisions but we are so fearless in the way we play.
“It is our biggest strength but sometimes our biggest weakness.”
Rosenior enjoyed a 16-year long playing career that saw him feature for the likes of Bristol City, Fulham, Reading, Hull and Brighton and Hove Albion.
He retired in 2018 and started coaching with the Seagulls and then moved to Derby County as a specialist.
He had his first taste of management as an interim boss at the Rams after Wayne Rooney resigned in June 2022.
Rosenior was relieved of his duties in September that year and joined Hull the next month.
