Neil Warnock is open to returning to management with Hull, but is not holding out hope of being approached.
The former Sheffield United, Leeds, QPR and Crystal Palace manager has been out of work since leaving Rotherham at the end of last season.
But with Premier League new boys Hull heading into the season without a permanent manager in place, Warnock has offered his services.
"I would manage Hull tomorrow," he said. "Hull is in the Yorkshire area, the fans appreciate hard work and they have a decent squad. They have had a few problems with injuries but I would guess they have someone already lined up because you can't be leaving it much longer.
