Iain Dowie has been appointed as the new manager of Premier League strugglers Hull, replacing Phil Brown who was sacked on Monday.

Brown was dismissed in the wake of a 2-1 home defeat by Arsenal which left Hull second from bottom of the table and Dowie was due to be unveiled as the new Tigers boss at an 1100GMT press conference Wednesday, BBC radio reported.

The former Crystal Palace and Charlton manager will have nine matches to save Hull, who are currently three points from safety, from relegation, a fate which would leave the club facing serious financial difficulties.
