Chairman Acun Ilicali hailed the decision, calling it a "privilege" to have Jakirovic in charge, according to BBC News. The Tigers' hierarchy reportedly view him as a high-quality coach and are keen to build long-term stability around him following a turbulent period at the club.
The extension underlines Hull's faith in Jakirovic's methods as they look to push forward under his leadership, with the chairman's public backing signalling a united front between the boardroom and the dugout.
