Sergej Jakirovic managed Hull City to a 2–0 victory over Manchester United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Jakirovic led Hull in their first top-flight match after promotion. His team scored twice in the first half through Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy, then protected the advantage to secure three points at MKM Stadium.
The result carried an additional distinction for the manager: Jakirovic became the first Bosnian manager to win a Premier League match. That milestone refers specifically to a victory in the Premier League, rather than to managing in England’s lower divisions or winning another domestic competition.
Manchester United were managed by Michael Carrick in the match. Hull’s victory was their first league win over United since 1974, when the clubs were competing in the old Second Division. The opening-weekend result therefore gave Jakirovic both a personal landmark and a major club achievement.
