Basement club Hull sack boss Phelan

Relegation strugglers Hull City sacked Mike Phelan as manager on Tuesday less than three months after appointing him on a permanent basis. The club issued a statement confirming Phelan's departure after he oversaw a run of nine games without a win that plunged them to the bottom of the Premier League. "The club can announce this evening that it has parted company with Head Coach Mike Phelan," Hull said on their website.
