Jakirovic happy to grab draw in Coventry opener

Sergej Jakirovic was previously in charge of Turkish Super Lig club Kayserispor

Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic says he was happy to pick up a point on his debut in English football.

Bosnian Jakirovic took over at MKM Stadium this summer after Ruben Selles was sacked.

And his new-look team came through a tough assignment at last season's play-off semi-finalists Coventry City.

"I'm very happy with the point, especially the beginning of the season when you never know where you are after the preparation," he told BBC Radio Humberside.

"It's very confident for the boys to see they can play against favourites as Coventry for me is in the top five in this league.

"It's a very promising point for us."
