Hull City has announced Ruben Selles as their new head coach, signing him on a two-and-a-half-year contract. The Spaniard departs from Reading to lead the Tigers starting Monday, after a compensation agreement was reached with the Royals. Selles replaces Tim Walter, who was dismissed after six months due to poor performance, with Hull sitting 22nd in the Championship.

Andy Dawson will manage Hull's upcoming match against Blackburn Rovers before Selles takes over and Dawson resumes his position as first-team coach. "I am really happy. When the possibility to come here became real, my eyes were on Hull City," Selles expressed on the Tigers' official website. "I know the team, the club, the history, and I'm looking forward to starting my journey with the team."

Selles is eager to begin his tenure at Hull City and is committed to working hard with the team. He stated, "From now, we go all in, all together, every single time, 100%. There is no tomorrow; every day is important, every action is important. We're going to fight for every inch together." His enthusiasm reflects his dedication to improving the team's standing.

The decision to appoint Selles follows a disappointing run under former coach Tim Walter. Walter managed only three victories in 17 league matches during his time at MKM Stadium. This poor performance led to his dismissal as Hull struggled near the bottom of the Championship table.

As part of this transition, Andy Dawson will temporarily handle coaching duties for Saturday's game against Blackburn Rovers. Afterward, he will return to his role as first-team coach when Selles officially assumes leadership responsibilities next week.

This change marks a new chapter for Hull City as they aim to climb up from their current position in the league standings. With Selles at the helm, there is hope for a more successful future for the team and its supporters.
