Hull City Association Football Club
A club transformed by Turkish media mogul Acun Ilicali's ambitious ownership, Hull City carry memories of their 2014 FA Cup final appearance and Premier League years into a Championship present defined by managerial instability and the search for the right formula to recapture top-flight football.
Current Leadership
Owner & Chairman
Turkish media mogul Acun Ilicali, best known as the creator and host of the Turkish version of Survivor, purchased Hull City from the Allam family in January 2022. His enthusiastic, hands-on ownership style has brought visibility and investment to the club, though a rapid turnover of managers has prevented sustained progress on the pitch.

Historical Figures
Owners
Egyptian-born businessman Assem Allam and his son Ehab owned Hull City from 2010 to 2022. Their tenure included two Premier League promotions and an FA Cup final appearance in 2014, but was tarnished by an unpopular attempt to rename the club Hull Tigers and a deteriorating relationship with supporters.
