Tim Walter: Hull City appoint ex-Hamburg boss as new head coach

Hull City have appointed former Hamburg boss Tim Walter as their new head coach on a three-year deal.

Walter will officially take charge on 1 July subject to obtaining a visa.

The 48-year-old German replaces Liam Rosenior after leaving Hamburg earlier this year, having previously taken charge of Stuttgart and Holstein Kiel.

Hull finished seventh in the Championship this season and Rosenior was sacked after not reaching the play-offs, despite being nominated for the Championship’s manager of the year award.
