Manager Sergej Jakirovic has been joking about Hull City's chances of competing for the Champions League title, but his main goal is to secure promotion as soon as possible. Hull City has made a remarkable start to the season, winning two matches and drawing one, and Jakirovic believes that the team's core is still made up of Championship players. The Bosnian manager is realistic about the team's chances, but is happy with the current results.
Hull City's next match is against Sunderland in the League Cup, which will give Jakirovic the opportunity to give players without rhythm some playing time. The 49-year-old manager has already been rewarded for the team's promotion last season and the good start in the Premier League, with Hull extending his contract until 2028.
