Wales boss Chris Coleman: 'I would never consider becoming England manager'

Wales boss Chris Coleman insists that he would never consider becoming England manager.

Wales boss Chris Coleman has admitted that he would never consider becoming England manager.

The English Football Association ise looking for a new coach following Roy Hodgson's resignation last week.

The 68-year-old stepped down less than an hour after England suffered a humiliating Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland in the last-16 stage.

In contrast, Coleman, who recently signed a new two-year contract with the Welsh FA, is flying high having guided Wales to the semi-finals of the tournament.

When asked by reporters if he would consider taking charge of the England team, Coleman said: "It's not something that would ever, ever enter my thinking. I could never rule that in.

"I'm a Welshman through and through and I've only ever wanted to manage Wales internationally. It would only ever be Wales.

"I've always said my next job after Wales, whenever that is, will probably be abroad because I want to manage in the Champions League and I think that would be my best chance. But to manage another country? No, I wouldn't. That's not something I would consider."

Wales will take on Portugal on Wednesday for a spot in the Euro 2016 final.
