Hull City have reportedly sacked manager Liam Rosenior just days after they missed out on a place in the Championship play-offs. 

The Tigers finished the season in seventh place after losing on the final day of the season to Plymouth Argyle - who avoided relegation with the three points.

They were three points behind Norwich who made the play-offs in sixth, with the Canaries also beaten on the final day of the season. Norwich's superior goal difference would have made it tough for Hull to jump them even if they did beat Plymouth on the final day. 

Despite missing out on the chance to compete for promotion via the play-offs, Rosenior was nominated for the Championship manager of the season. 

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna won the award, ahead of Leeds manager Daniel Farke.
