Reading boss Ruben Selles is the 1/4 favourite to become the next manager of Hull.
Reports emerged on Wednesday outlining that Selles has emerged as the preferred candidate for the position at the Sky Bet Championship club.
And not only has he been identified, but the clubs are 'expected to open talks over a deal' which would bring the former Southampton boss to the MKM Stadium.
- Ruben Selles - 1/4
- Alex Neil - 3/1

The Tigers have been without a permanent manager following the decision to sack Tim Walter on November 27.
Walter left the club 22nd in the Sky Bet Championship table after 17 games with just three wins and 15 points on their tally.
Selles has Reading sitting sixth in the Sky Bet League One standings, with 30 points gained and a home record which boasts seven wins from eight outings. That good form has come despite off-field issues with the ownership.
They are 10th for expected goals (xG) created - a metric which analyses the quality of chances a team produces - but have conceded the fourth-highest expected goals against (xGA) figure.
