Manchester United reserves coach Warren Joyce remains on Hull City's shortlist.

Joyce is on Hull City's shortlist to succeed Nigel Pearson as manager, says the Hull Daily Mail.

Joyce led City to their iconic 'Great Escape' season by avoiding relegation out of the Football League in 1998-99.

He has considerably enhanced his coaching pedigree since leaving East Yorkshire in 2000 as a spell in charge of Royal Antwerp and three years on the coaching staff of Sir Alex Ferguson have seen him develop into a respected figure within the game.

It remains to be seen if he can be lured from Old Trafford for a return to frontline management, but the collection of former United youngsters now gathered at the KC would make it a smooth transition.
