HULL City, currently one place below Burnley in the Premier League, have appointed Iain Dowie as their new manager.
The struggling East Yorkshire club parted company with Phil Brown earlier this week and Dowie emerged as the leading contender.
Bookmakers stopped taking bets on Dowie as the former Crystal Palace and Charlton boss, currently working as a pundit on Sky Sports, emerged as the number one contender.
Dowie, who will be assisted by Steve Wigley and ex-Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Tim Flowers, will have just nine games to save the Tigers from relegation.
