FORMER Rangers striker Shota Arveladze has emerged as a shock candidate to become the manager of Hull City.
The English Championship side are currently in takeover talks with current owner Assem Allam keen to offload the club to Turkish businessman Acun Ilicali.
Reports in Turkey have now claimed that if Ilicali's deal goes through then he would be keen to bring in Arveladze as the club's new manager.
The deal in question is said to be worth up to £30million, with a further £20million add on if promotion to the Premier League is gained in the near future.
Arveladze recently resigned as manager of Pakhtakor Tashkent after three years in charge.
The Georgian won two Uzbekistan Super League titles and one Uzbekistan Cup during his time in charge.
Hull currently have Northern Irishman Grant McCann in charge and are third bottom of the Championship.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
