Wales manager Chris Coleman is honoured with a Special Recognition Award at the Wales Sport Awards 2016 for guiding the Dragons to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has been honoured with a Special Recognition Award at the Wales Sport Awards 2016.

The 46-year-old guided the Dragons to the semi-finals of Euro 2016, their first major championship in 58 years, and they currently sit 12th in the FIFA world rankings.

Speaking at Cardiff's Hoddinott Hall on Monday, Coleman said upon receiving the award: "We still pinch ourselves the Euros happened.

"I can't say reaching the semi-final was on our mind. We needed a little bit of luck, but the players deserve all the accolades, they handled the pressure and thrived in it."

Wales are unbeaten in qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
