Barnsley transfer news: Barnsley could move for ex-Burnley boss as Hull City eye up Brazilian midfielder
Former Burnley player could become Barnsley’s next manager target.
Neither Hull City or Barnsley had a Championship season they would wish to remember. Hull finished in 19th place, safe from relegation but far from from any hopes of promotion while Barnsley will see themselves play in League One next season.
The Reds went from competing in the Championship play-off qualifiers last year and have now dropped an entire league.
Hull on the other hand, will take some much needed time away from the pitch to refocus ahead of their training camp on Spain’s Costa del Sol later in June.
City had hoped to use either Turkey or Portugal for their training destination, but have opted for the popular pre-season base of Marbella to train.
Head coach Shota Arveladze will hope that this week at the Marbella Football Center can prepare his squad well for what he will intend to be a Championship campaign to remember, and one that will see his side further up the league.
Take a look at the latest news from the Championship, including Hull City and Barnsley, as well as their fellow second-tier competitors.
