Hull City sack manager hours before match after wasting international break on meetings

Hull City have sacked manager Shota Arveladze, just hours before their Championship game against Luton Town at the MKM Stadium on Friday evening.

The Tigers return to action for the first time since the international break when they host Luton in front of the Sky Sports cameras, but owner Acun Ilicali has decided to make a change prior to the fixture. Andy Dawson is set to take charge of the side ahead of facing Nathan Jones' Luton.

A club statement read : "Hull City can confirm we have parted company with head coach Shota Arveladze. Arveladze was appointed in January and helped guide the Tigers to Championship safety and a 19th-placed finish in a season of transition at the MKM Stadium.
