Grant McCann was appointed Doncaster boss in June 2018Hull City have appointed Doncaster Rovers manager Grant McCann as their new boss on a 12-month rolling deal. Northern Irishman McCann, 39, led Rovers to sixth in League One last season before they were beaten by Charlton in the play-off semi-finals. "To be in the Championship is the next step for me, and I'm pleased to be taking that step with a great club like Hull City," said McCann, who has been named head coach by the Tigers. McCann has been joined at Hull by assistant Cliff Byrne, with compensation agreed between the clubs. Doncaster say they have started the process of finding McCann's replacement, having "reluctantly" allowed him to speak to Hull after he "expressed a desire" to join them.
