MARK ROBINS is open to the prospect of managing Hull, though he will not be interviewing for the role.
Robins was dismissed by Coventry last month and is one of the candidates under consideration to succeed the recently dismissed Tim Walter at Hull.

However, Hull is soliciting applications and CVs, whereas the 54-year-old Robins would rather receive a direct job offer than navigate that application process.
The former Coventry manager previously held the record for the EFL’s longest-serving manager, contributing seven years of service to the club in the West Midlands.
Upon his departure, the Sky Blues were ranked 17th in the Championship, well above the relegation zone.
This placed the ex-Manchester United player amidst a relegation battle for the current season.
Robins was in his second tenure at Coventry, having returned to the club in March 2017 after Russell Slade’s dismissal.
His initial stint with Coventry was brief and took place in 2012.
Robins significantly revitalized Coventry, leading them from the depths of League Two to becoming League One champions in 2020.
He also nearly secured promotion to the Premier League, losing a playoff final on penalties to Luton in 2023.

Last season, he famously led Coventry to the FA Cup semi-finals, where they suffered a heartbreaking penalty loss to United after an incredible comeback from a 3-0 deficit in the second half.
Following his exit, Coventry appointed former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.
Frank Lampard confirmed as Coventry manager as Chelsea legend returns to management after 18 months of inactivity.
Lampard subsequently signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Championship side.
