Shota Arveladze: Hull City to unveil former Rangers striker as head coach on Friday

Hull City will unveil ex-Rangers and Ajax striker Shota Arveladze as their new head coach at a press conference on Friday, BBC Radio Humberside reports.

The 48-year-old Georgian will replace Grant McCann, who was sacked on Tuesday following the club's takeover by the Turkey-based Acun Medya Group.

Arveladze's coaching CV includes stints in the Netherlands, Turkey, Israel and, most recently, in Uzbekistan.

Hull are 19th in the Championship, nine points above the relegation zone.
