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.
Coleman is one of the candidates that the Premier League side have targeted to replace Steve Bruce.
Coleman guided Wales to the Euro 2016 semi-finals a month after signing a new two-year contract with the FAW.
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.
Coleman, who succeeded the late Gary Speed as Wales manager in January 2012, has already said the 2018 World Cup campaign will be his last in charge of Wales.
FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford said earlier in July that he was hopeful Coleman would honour his two-year contract extension.
But Ford acknowledged it would be difficult to keep Coleman if he decided he wanted to manage a club side before then.
The former Swansea City, Crystal Palace and Blackburn Rovers defender has also managed Coventry City, Real Sociedad in Spain and Greek side Larissa.
Wales begin their World Cup qualifying campaign against Moldova at Cardiff City Stadium on 5 September.
Coleman has been in charge of 38 internationals and has overseen a remarkable transformation in Wales' - and his own - fortunes.
He made the worst start of any Wales manager, losing his first four games, but guided his country to their first appearance at a major tournament for 58 years with qualification for Euro 2016.
As a player, Swansea-born Coleman won 32 caps for Wales and captained Fulham when they won promotion to the First Division in 1998-99.
Coleman's playing career was cut short after he suffered a broken leg in a car crash in 2001.
Appointed manager by Fulham in April 2003 but was sacked by the Craven Cottage club four years later.
Later managed Real Sociedad, Coventry and Greek club Larissa before taking the Wales job in January 2012 following the death of his friend and former team-mate Gary Speed.

Cookie will probably go to a PL team at some stage this season but he can do a lot better than Hull City.

Agree
Coleman's stock will never be higher and (sadly for Wales) he needs to take advantage of it whilst he can, as his current wages do not reflect his elevated standing in the game. However, Hull City Yo-Yo's almost certain battle against relegation is not where he needs to be right now!

By all accounts Hull are a shambles behind the scenes and Coleman has no intentions of going there

Its not like being a player surely he has a long career ahead of him and the prestige of taking Wales to the World cup is far greater than any lucrative move to a big club.
If I was him I would give the World Cup a good crack and manage a club later. Who knows his stock could soar higher and he could come and manage us in the Premier league!
