According to Sport Bild, Köln's clash with Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday will be Gisdol's last chance to save his job.
Funkel is being touted as a possible successor, but the 67-year-old insists he has been approached by FC Köln yet.
"No one has spoken with me. I've already said that I will think about whether to return to coaching if I get a concrete offer," Funkel told Sport1.
Last month, Funkel was linked with the coaching job at Schalke 04, who opted to hire Christian Gross instead. According to the 67-year-old, 'The Royal Blues' never contacted him.
"I don't want to say anything further on this subject. I have learned from the Schalke case. There was zero contact with them, and stories were still written about me," he added.
