Events[]

On 15 November 2011 manager Nigel Pearson left the club to take up an appointment at former club Leicester City, taking with him backroom staff Craig Shakespeare and Steve Walsh.[4] Hull City appointed Nick Barmby as caretaker manager.[5] On 18 November it was announced that Steve Wigley would be rejoining the club's backroom staff as first-team coach.[6] On 6 January 2012 Barmby announced that he would be retiring as a player.[7] On 10 January 2012 he was appointed as permanent manager of the club.[8]

On 31 March 2012, during a match against Coventry City, captain Jack Hobbs suffered a rupture to his anterior cruciate ligament, an injury which at the time was set to keep him out of action for up to eight months.[9][10] As a result of this Andy Dawson took over the role of captain for the remainder of the season.[11]

On 1 May 2012, in a statement by club owners Assem and Ehab Allam, it was confirmed that a consultancy agreement with Adam Pearson had been terminated.[12] A week later, Barmby was sacked as manager after publicly criticising the club's owners in an interview given to a local newspaper.[13] The termination of his contract was ratified after an appeal on 24 May 2012.[14]

At a press conference on 8 June 2012 it was announced that Steve Bruce had been appointed as the new manager on a three-year contract.[15] Subsequently, first team coaches Steve Wigley and Stuart Watkiss left the club.[16]
