Aiming for the Play-Offs
Owner Acun Ilicali has set a clear goal for Walter. He wants the new coach to lead Hull City into the Championship play-offs next season.

Ilicali is confident in Walter’s ability to bring an exciting and attacking style of play. He believes this approach will help the team build on their seventh-placed finish last season.
“You have to play good football and entertain the fans. You want them to enjoy it,” Ilicali added.
