The Turkish entrepreneur is also understood to be already looking for a replacement, with GD Chaves manager Vitor Campelos on his radar.

After leaving Derby on 27 September, Rosenior took up a two-year contract with Hull on 3 November and oversaw a steady climb up the Championship table and away from danger.

Rosenior has officiated 21 league games since his dugout debut on November 5, winning six, losing five and drawing ten.

They currently sit 17th – nine points above the relegation zone with seven games of the season remaining.

However, Ilicali reportedly doubts Rosenior is the right man to take the club forward.

Target Campelos, 47, led Chaves back into the Portuguese top flight last season – and now sits comfortably in mid-table.

Campelos have attracted attention after several impressive results, including wins away against Sporting Lisbon and Braga.

Ilicali is already known for knee-jerk sackings of coaches at Hull when he ditched Georgia coach Shota Arveladze just EIGHT hours before their clash with Luton in September.

Ilicali also intends to invest in another club to act as feeders to Hull, with Irish Premier League side Shelbourne FC – managed by ex-Chelsea star Damien Duff – overseen.
