Hull hope to name Steve Bruce's successor next week after
beginning to interview prospective managers.
Bruce left the Tigers after four years in charge following a
breakdown in his relationship with the club's owners, the Allams.
But Press Association Sport understands Hull had already
drafted a shortlist of potential replacements after Bruce revealed he had
spoken to the Football Association about the possibility of becoming England
manager earlier this month.
Sam Allardyce eventually got that job, but FA interest in
Bruce at least prompted Hull to consider their options.
Roberto Martinez, sacked by Everton at the end of last
season, is understood to be one of those due for interview in the next 48
hours, while caretaker manager Mike Phelan will be allowed to pitch for the job
having declared his interest in becoming a number one.
The odds on former United States coach Bob Bradley, currently
with Le Havre in Ligue 2, have come in dramatically and he is now favourite with
some bookmakers, though there has been no confirmation from his
representatives.
Birmingham's Gary Rowett has also been linked with a move to
the Premier League newcomers.
