JAN Molby has been confirmed as the new manager of Hull City.

He has signed a three-year contract with the Tigers.

Molby will take charge of the team for the first time against Luton on Saturday.

Hull chairman Adam Pearson said: "I am delighted that Jan Molby has joined us.

"He has real presence and a massive passion for football in general, and Hull in particular."

The former Liverpool midfielder quit as manager of Kidderminster Harriers last week and succeeds Brian Little at Boothferry Park.
