After sacking Liam Rosenior on Tuesday, Hull City are plotting a move for Coventry City manager Mark Robins, according to Football Insider.

Football Insider sources have revealed that Robins is on the Tigers’ shortlist to replace Rosenior, and club representatives are set to contact the Sky Blues manager’s representatives.

Robins is currently under contract with the Sky Blues until the summer of 2027, after signing a four-year deal in 2023, and guided the club to the 2024 FA Cup semi-final, where they were defeated on penalties by Manchester United.

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali revealed in an interview with BBC Radio Humberside that he dismissed Rosenior after the pair had a disagreement over the side’s playing style.
