Hull owner Acun Ilicali described the decision as his “toughest” at the club. “No matter how difficult the circumstances, I have to remove personal feelings from these moments and ensure that the long-term vision of the club is at the center of my thinking,” he said.

“Since Liam’s arrival we have had an open working relationship and progress has undoubtedly been made during his tenure. He will always be part of this family and I thank him for all his work. However, it has become clear that our visions for the future are not aligned and I believe the time has come to make a change.
