Following a successful period that included promotion to the Premier League, Hull City owner Acun Ilicali confirmed a contract extension for manager Sergej Jakirović. Jakirović has since signed a new two-year extension that includes an option for an additional year, potentially keeping him at the club until summer 2029. This stability initially translated to the pitch, where Hull City maintained an unbeaten start to the Premier League season. After victories against Manchester United and Coventry, the newly promoted side secured a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa and a draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, earning eight points from their first four matches. Jakirović became the first Croatian to be named Premier League Manager of the Month and maintained a lighthearted media presence, once jokingly questioning whether to speak in English or Croatian during a press conference. However, the unbeaten run ended with a 2-1 loss to Newcastle United at St James’ Park. After falling behind 2-0 to goals from Joe Willock and Lewis Hall, a comeback attempt led by Mohamed-Ali Cho fell short. The match was marked by post-match tension, as Jakirović reportedly attempted to approach the Newcastle coaching staff, with witnesses indicating that individuals had to physically restrain him to prevent a confrontation. The specific cause of the incident remains unconfirmed. Despite the loss to Newcastle, Jakirović has overseen a strong start to the season, with the team sitting in eighth place after five matches. While the squad was predicted for relegation in July, Jakirović noted the team has shown significant dominance. Amidst growing interest from larger clubs due to his success, Jakirović stated he remains focused on his current role at Hull City.
