The Football Association of Wales will continue to have a fight on its hands to keep Chris Coleman despite Hull's failure to make him their new manager, according to former Wales coach Paul Trollope.
Hull's attempt to land Coleman ended in disappointment last week when the FAW rejected the Tigers' approach to speak to the man who guided Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 last month.
Wales boss Coleman could significantly have increased his salary had he joined the Premier League new boys, but Cardiff manager Trollope believes it will not be the last time that his former boss will be targeted by wealthy clubs.
"There will be people calling," said Trollope, who on Tuesday night confirmed he would be leaving his coaching role with Wales to focus fully on his Cardiff commitments.
"This has only been a short period of time since the Euros and there's already been a lot (of interest) for Chris.
"I don't think that will go away. He's done a fantastic job and his stock is high.
"He's signed a contract, and the last I heard he said he was committed until after the World Cup.
"But there's been a lot of speculation and I can see why.
"As soon as I went into the camp, and I played with Chris years ago, I could see why it worked - his leadership, tactics, players, staff.
"It all worked very well and I'm sure they will be trying to replicate that in the World Cup campaign."
Trollope called time on his Wales stay after just over a year in the role.
The former Bristol Rovers boss was promoted from head coach to manager of Cardiff in May following Russell Slade's departure.
He felt he could not combine his roles for club and country heading into the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, which Wales start at home to Moldova on September 5.
"To get over the qualification line and then have the wonderful experience of the summer, on a personal and professional level it was one I'll never forget," Trollope said.
"But with the change of role here I didn't want to compromise either Cardiff or Wales.
"The demands of the Championship season are that I felt I would, so I decided to put all my focus and energy into Cardiff.
"It was a tough decision because there's a wonderful thing going on there with the Welsh team and the nation.
"We had discussions and it wasn't an easy thing to decide, but it was the right decision."
Cardiff goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson, however, will remain in international football as he switches from Wales to England.
The once-capped Wales goalkeeper joins Sam Allardyce's backroom staff having previously worked under new England manager at West Ham.
"He will continue on the basis he did with Wales. It's going to be a part-time thing," Trollope said.
"It won't affect his Cardiff commitments at all. Having worked under Sam at West Ham, he's been identified as the man to lead that department.
"You can see why because Martyn's done a fantastic job with Cardiff and Wales over the years.
"He goes with our blessing and I hope it goes well for him."
