English specialist Nigel Adkins, most likely, will replace Leonid Slutsky as head coach of "Tigers".

It seems that the days of the Russian specialist in Hull City are numbered.

The leadership of the "tigers" is extremely dissatisfied with the results of the team, and therefore is already looking for a replacement for the current head coach of the team, Leonid Slutsky.

It is reported that the main contender for this post is the former mentor Sheffield United Nigel Adkins, who also worked with Reading, Southampton and other clubs.

Slutsky led Hull in the summer off-season. Since then, the team scored just 18 points in 18 games and settled in 20th place in the Championship standings.

Earlier it was reported that Slutsky could receive an administrative post in Chelsea.
