Phelan confirmed as Hull boss

Hull City have appointed Mike Phelan as head coach on a permanent basis.

Mike Phelan has been confirmed as Hull City head coach, having been in the role on a caretaker basis since Steve Bruce's departure in July.

Phelan guided Hull to victories over Leicester City and Swansea City in his first two games in charge, but has since picked up just one point from a difficult run of five matches.

The former Manchester United assistant was widely expected to be given the role, with uncertainty over the club's ownership thought to be behind the delay.
