Liam Rosenior has been installed as the odds-on favourite to take over at Hull City.

Former Olympiacos manager Pedro Martins was pictured with owner Acun Ilicali after the club sacked Shota Arveladze at the end of September but talks over a move broke down.

Following last weekend’s loss to Birmingham City Ilicali insisted he would not be getting the job, stating: “The Pedro Martins situation is over. I didn’t see the determination. I want somebody who gives their whole energy here.”

Interim manager and club stalwart Andy Dawson has been given at least until the end of this week to prove himself in the role, with Hull visiting Rotherham United on Saturday.

Dawson’s side beat Blackpool in midweek in a huge result that could bolster his chances of landing the role permanently while he has been adding to his backroom staff with analyst Beri Pardo, formerly of Crystal Palace, joining alongside a new assistant coach in Robbie Stockdale.

However, Rosenior – who played over 100 games for Hull between 2010 and 2015 – has emerged as the new favourite.

The ex-Fulham, Reading, Ipswich Town and Brighton player was interim boss at Derby County for 12 games this season before being replaced by Paul Warne.

He won seven, drew two and lost three of his games in charge at the League One club.
