Mike Phelan calm over Hull City future after win over Swansea

Caretaker boss Mike Phelan expects the Hull City board to make the right decision over the appointment of a full-time Tigers manager.

Phelan took temporary charge last month following the departure of Steve Bruce and, despite only having 13 senior players available, secured a second straight Premier League win at Swansea.

Newly promoted Hull built on their impressive 2-1 victory over champions Leicester by winning 2-0 in south Wales, substitute Shaun Maloney and Abel Hernandez scoring in the final 12 minutes.

And Phelan concedes he can only fulfil his ambition of landing the job on a full-time basis by winning matches.
