Hull City are in talks with former Russia coach Leonid Slutsky.
The 46-year-old is ready to succeed Marco Silva as manager after being sounded out by Hull's owners.
Slutsky, a friend of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, has been staying in London as he looks to relaunch his career in England.
A former goalkeeper, he coached CSKA Moscow to three league titles between 2009 to 2016 with his last match being their Champions League clash with Tottenham in December.
