Chris Coleman: Welsh FA rejects Hull City's approach for Wales manager

Chris Coleman last managed in the Premier League with Fulham in 2007

Hull City have had an approach to speak to Wales boss Chris Coleman about their managerial vacancy turned down by the Football Association of Wales (FAW).

The 46-year-old is one of the candidates the Premier League new boys have targeted to replace Steve Bruce. Coleman guided his country to the Euro 2016 semi-finals a month after signing a new two-year contract with Wales.

Bruce led Hull to victory in the Championship play-off final in May

The FAW says everybody at the association is "fully focused" on the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Bruce resigned in July after a breakdown in his relationship with Hull vice-chairman Ehab Allam.


Roberto Martinez, sacked by Everton in May, and former Unites States coach Bob Bradley have also been linked with the vacancy.

Bruce, 55, joined the Tigers in 2012 and led them to promotion to the Premier League twice and also an FA Cup final appearance in 2014, losing to Arsenal.
