New Hull owner Acun Ilicali made his first big decision at the MKM Stadium this week, relieving Grant McCann of his duties despite the Tigers securing impressive wins with clean sheets over promotion-chasing Blackburn Rovers and Bournemouth in the last two matches.
However, the Turkish businessman said that he “wouldn’t be fair or honest” if he waited for a defeat to change manager and Arveladze was confirmed as the new boss on Thursday.
Only Barnsley and Cardiff City have picked up fewer points at home in the Championship this season than Hull, but the Tigers have lost just one of their last five league games at the MKM Stadium.
They also remain the joint-second lowest scorers in the second tier with 23 goals in 27 games and are reportedly targeting a move for Serbian striker Aleksander Pesic before the end of the transfer window.
Swansea have not won on their last five visits to Hull since a 1-0 victory in the Premier League in December 2014.
The current Swans team have recorded just one victory in their last six Championship games, but are unbeaten in their last three.
