Hull City have made an approach to Gianfranco Zola about becoming their new manager, according to Sky in Italy.

Meanwhile, the Wales FA have told Sky Sports News HQ that they have received no approach from the Tigers about Chris Coleman, who signed a new two-year contract in May.  

Steve Bruce left Hull this summer and Wales boss Coleman has been widely linked with the City job.  

Bruce, who was interviewed for the England job, guided Hull back to the Premier League last season but stepped down last month, reportedly over concerns of a lack of investment at the KCOM Stadium.

Chelsea legend Zola has had managerial spells in English football with West Ham and Watford, but both ended with the sack.
