Sergej Jakirovic will lead Hull City for the 50th time in Friday's play-off semi-final against Millwall

Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic has said reaching the Championship play-offs "feels like winning the league".

The Tigers, who face Millwall in the first leg of their semi-final on Friday, spent the majority of the season in the top six but a run of six games without a win meant they went into the final match behind sixth-placed Wrexham on goal difference.

Jakirovic's men came from a goal down to beat Norwich, while the Red Dragons could only draw with Middlesbrough.

"I feel excellent, this is a big achievement for us. I feel like we won the league," he told BBC Radio Humberside.
