“The ability to lead and motivate our squad and staff was also high on the requirements for this appointment, and they are qualities that Mark exudes naturally. “He believes in an aggressive, intense, front-foot style of play, just as we do. That adds to his other experience across the UK and Europe that he’s accumulated as a coach and a player since the age of 16. Before that, he worked under Michael Henke at Ingolstadt – a man who has won the Champions League twice as a coach. His most recent spell came last season at a big city side in Hertha Berlin under a manager who has been right at the top of the game for many successful years in Felix Magath.
“Mark has worked at some top clubs with some of the best coaches around. “His beliefs in coaching and football fit very well with our methods at the club, and we also believe he can add to what we do because of who he has worked for and with during his career so far.” READ MORE: Dimitrios Pelkas' Greece winner could be good news for Hull City “We have explored a wide range of options in our search for our next head coach, and Mark became our first choice after our very first meeting," said the Terriers' director of football Leigh Bromby. Fotheringham replaces Danny Schofield, who was sacked earlier this month after just 69 days in charge. The 38-year-old Scot, who was assistant boss at German outfit Hertha Berlin, has signed a contract until June 2025. Hull City's Championship rivals Huddersfield have appointed Mark Fotheringham as their new manager ahead of the Yorkshire derby meeting on Sunday week.
