Hull City have sacked boss Tim Walter after just 17 league games in charge with the team in the Championship relegation zone.

Owner Acun Ilicali was at MKM Stadium for that match and, despite saying in an interview before the game that he would not sack the 49-year-old regardless of their result, he has decided to make a change now.
