In a moment that has sent shockwaves of joy through the MKM Stadium and the wider English football community, Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirović has officially confirmed that club legend Ken Wagstaff is returning to the Tigers’ organisation.

This time, the iconic former left winger will not be pulling on the black and amber kit, but instead stepping into a senior coaching role, marking a hugely emotional homecoming for one of Hull City’s most beloved figures.

Wagstaff, whose name is forever etched into the club’s history thanks to his blistering pace, unforgettable goals, and deep connection with the supporters, is expected to play a key role in mentoring players, passing on the club’s values, and strengthening the bridge between Hull City’s proud past and its ambitious future.

Speaking on the announcement, Jakirović described Wagstaff’s return as “a massive boost for the club,” highlighting the importance of identity, experience, and leadership as Hull City continues to build for sustained success.

Fans have already flooded social media with messages of celebration, calling the move “long overdue” and “a perfect reunion,” as the Tigers welcome back a true symbol of their heritage.

For Hull City, this is more than an appointment — it’s a statement of intent, respect, and unity.
