Hull caretaker manager Mike Phelan looks increasingly likely to lead the club into the Premier League season and has started preparing the team to face Leicester on Saturday.
Phelan worked as number two to Steve Bruce, who resigned last month after four years at the helm, and has been overseeing the side for the past fortnight.
Hull were eager to bring Wales manager Chris Coleman to the KCOM Stadium and believed he was interested in the vacancy, but the Football Association of Wales rejected their approach last week and there have been no developments.
Roberto Martinez was also a target prior to taking over Belgium, and former West Ham and Watford boss Gianfranco Zola has been interviewed.
