Hull to unveil Dowie later this morning

Hull City will unveil Iain Dowie as new manager later this morning.

The Hull Daily Mail says Hull have called a media conference for 11:00am to confirm Dowie's appointment.

The 45-year-old agreed terms on a short-term contract last night and is due to be officially unveiled as Phil Brown's successor later this morning.

Dowie's arrival this morning comes just over three years since he toyed with the chance to take over the Tigers when Phil Parkinson was axed in December 2006.

Once he became manager of Coventry soon after, he admitted holding talks with Pearson but would not discuss if he was ever offered the chance to manage City out of respect to Brown, a close-friend from his north-west family roots.
