Liam Rosenior’s future at Hull in serious doubt with new boss already being lined up by Turkish owners
LIAM ROSENIOR’S future as Hull City boss is in serious doubt.
SunSport understands the Tigers’ owner Acun Ilicali is considering axing the 38-year-old at the end of the season.
It is also understood that the Turkish entrepreneur is already sizing up a replacement, with G.D. Chaves manager Vitor Campelos on his radar.
Having left Derby on September 27, Rosenior took over at Hull on a two-year-deal on November 3, overseeing a steady rise up the Championship table and away from danger.
Rosenior has taken charge of 21 league games since his dugout debut on November 5, winning six, losing five and drawing 10.
They are currently in 17th – nine points above the relegation zone with seven games of the campaign remaining.
However, Ilicali is reportedly doubtful that Rosenior is the right man to take the club forward.
Target Campelos, 47, guided Chaves back to the Portuguese top flight last season – and are now sitting comfortably in mid-table.
Campelos has caught the eye following several impressive results, including away wins over Sporting Lisbon and Braga.
Ilicali is already renowned for knee-jerk managerial sackings at Hull, getting rid of Georgian coach Shota Arveladze just EIGHT hours before their clash with Luton back in September.

Arveladze – who was hired on January 2022 shortly after Ilicali’s purchase of the club – was binned after just 10 league games this season, winning three of them.
Ilicali is also looking to invest in another club to act as a feeder for Hull, with top flight Irish side Shelbourne FC – managed by ex-Chelsea star Damien Duff – being monitored.
