Key boardroom changes revealed at Hull City after Tan Kesler departure
Two new appointments have been made to the board of directors at Hull City, following the departure of former vice-chairman Tan Kesler back in October.
Cem Avaroglu and Mustafa Tarik have been appointed to join owner Acun Ilicali and Ebru Atasav Tahranci, the CEO of Acun Medya for almost two decades.
The new appointments have been confirmed by Companies House and are now listed on the EFL's public register of club directors, though have not yet been announced by City.

Those changes complete a backroom reshuffle at the MKM Stadium in recent months following Kesler's sudden exit from the MKM Stadium, with his role officially terminated on October 17.
As part of that reshuffle, former Stoke City transfer guru Jared Dublin was appointed as the club's sporting director, replacing Beri Pardo, who had held the role previously.
"In football, what I see in many clubs are the professionals changing like the football players. Everybody in business life can change, and new people can come and go; this is the situation in clubs all around the world. I don't think there should be any worry from our fans about running the club operationally. I'm sure that they believe in me because they've believed in me from the first minute, and now they believe in me to make a new organisation inside the club," Ilicali said about the exit of Kesler at the time.
"We have Mustafa (Yokes), Merthan (Acil) and Beri (Pardo) who have all been here from the early days with me. We also have Jared (Dublin), who came to us from Stoke City. I really believe in his future role inside the club, I think he will be one of the most important figures of British football in the future, he's young, energetic and I'm sure when times go by, our fans will understand that we have good people inside the club. There has been zero concentration lost from my side about Hull City."
