Hull City secured a dominant 2-0 victory over Millwall, booking their place in the Championship play-off final. A jubilant head coach Jakirovic praised his side’s resilience after the match, stating, “This feeling is incredible, absolutely unbelievable. Millwall are a tough opponent, and we knew they would come at us hard early on. But we are heading to Wembley. We’ve been a fantastic team all season, with great unity and chemistry. I’m incredibly proud of these players. I told them to dream big, and they’ve improved with every game.”
The win marks a remarkable turnaround for Hull City, who narrowly escaped relegation last season under Jakirovic’s leadership. Now, they stand just one victory away from a return to the Premier League. “Considering the injury setbacks we’ve faced, this might be the greatest achievement of my coaching career, and the best thing that’s ever happened to me in football,” Jakirovic added.
Hull City will now prepare for the final at Wembley, with promotion to the top flight within reach.
