Former Charlton Athletic and Bristol City manager Dean Holden has joined Hull City as assistant head coach.

He will work with new head coach Sergej Jakirovic, the Bosnian who has taken over at the Tigers this summer.

Holden's most recent post was as assistant manager at Adana Demirspor in Turkey, while he also worked under Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.

Having been working in the Turkish Super Lig, the 45-year-old came across Jakirovic when he was in charge at Kayserispor.

Holden says that his role in Jakirovic's team will be to work on Hull's defence.
