Hull City’s surprising decision to part ways with manager Liam Rosenior has sent shockwaves through the football world. Despite narrowly missing out on the Championship playoffs, the club’s Turkish owner, Acun Ilicali, has cited a misalignment of future visions as the reason behind Rosenior’s departure.
Rosenior, 39, rejoined Hull as head coach in November 2022, following an illustrious playing career that included a memorable stint with the Tigers, culminating in an FA Cup final appearance in 2014. His return was marked by promising results, with Hull showing glimpses of their potential under his leadership.
Despite this progress, Hull fell short of playoff qualification by a mere three points, a disappointment that ultimately led to Rosenior’s exit. While acknowledging the improvements made during Rosenior’s tenure, Ilicali emphasized the need to prioritize the club’s long-term goals above personal sentiment.

“I have to remove personal sentiment from these moments and ensure the long-term vision of the club is at the centre of my thinking,” stated Ilicali. “Since Liam’s arrival, we have enjoyed an open working relationship and progress has undoubtedly been made over the course of his tenure. He will always be a part of this family, and I thank him for all his work. However, it has become evident that our visions for the future are not aligned, and I feel that now is the time to make a change.”
The sudden departure of Rosenior, who was also nominated for Championship manager of the season, leaves Hull City searching for a new leader as they seek to realign their trajectory for success in the seasons ahead.
