Coleman Turned Down Job Offers

Last updated : 30 May 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Former Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that he has turned down other job offers so he can keep the Wales manager job.

Coleman is quoted by the Press Association as saying: "I've had one or two phone calls (about other jobs) but nothing to make me say 'I'm off'.

"Nobody has offered me a contract but I've had 'would you be interested?'

"I've been a manager for 13 years and there are so many managers - good managers - out of work and only so many jobs, so when you get offered something it's hard to say no.

"But I would never walk away from Wales, certainly not halfway through a campaign.

"If you get the opportunity to manage your country, no matter where you're from, you take it.

"I'm a Welsh boy and to manage Wales, that's it. To leave on bad terms, to walk away from something, especially Wales, you'd be crazy to do that.

"I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't contemplate doing that."
