Tan Kesler smiles as he greets Mail Sport in the lobby of a plush hotel in Cambridge.
The former Hull City vice-chairman is here to talk. To talk about his impressive career as a football executive, to talk about his near three-year spell with the Tigers - and to talk for the first time about a departure that left fans shocked.
Kesler, a former agent who also worked for the Turkish FA, was the right-hand man of Hull owner and chairman Acun Ilicali after his takeover at the MKM Stadium in January 2022, tasked with the day-to-day running of the club.
