Hull vice-chairman Ehab Allam says the club hope to unveil their new boss before the weekend amid reports Marco Silva is set to be appointed as successor to sacked Mike Phelan.
The Premier League's bottom club parted company with Phelan on Tuesday with Allam insisting the Tigers require a "fresh approach" to stand any chance of avoiding immediate relegation back to the Sky Bet Championship.
Former Olympiakos boss Silva has emerged as the unlikely favourite to replace Phelan, with reports suggesting a deal to bring in the Portuguese 39-year-old has already been finalised.
