Hull City assistant manager Dean Holden has signed an improved rolling contract with the Premier League club despite managerial interest from Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls have been considering the 47-year-old coach to replace Henrik Pedersen, who was dismissed following consecutive away losses against Notts County and Doncaster Rovers.
