But Wales boss and former Palace defender Chris Coleman would be tempted by a return to the Premier League. Pards took over in January 2015 and has seen his team suffer a rotten run of form.
Although the fans are split about whether he should leave, Palace’s new billionaire investor Josh Harris is worried that the 55-year-old may not be able to turn things around. Swansea are also in trouble and a defeat in South Wales will be the final straw for Palace chiefs.
Welshman Coleman, who led his country to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, attracted interest from two clubs in the Chinese Super League last week.
Ambitious duo Yanbian Funde and Tianjin TEDA wanted to speak to Cookie but no approach was made to the Football Association of Wales.
Coleman, 46, signed a new two-year deal in May, which will take him to the end of the 2018 World Cup and he has already stated this will be his final campaign in charge of the Dragons.
Hull made a formal approach for Coleman, who is on the shortlist for Fifa’s Coach of the Year, after Steve Bruce quit in the summer but the FAW rejected their advances.
