Hull City have tried to tempt Chris Coleman to quit as Wales manager by offering to quadruple his wages, but have so far been frustrated in their pursuit.

The Football Association of Wales have rejected an approach from Hull to speak to Coleman, but it is thought the 46-year-old would still like to discuss the job with the Premier League club’s vice-chairman Ehab Allam as he is aware of the huge increase in wages on offer.

Coleman, who guided Wales to the semi-finals of the European Championship, is paid around £350,000-a-year by the FAW, but Hull are willing to offer him £1.5 million a year and a three-year deal.
