Last updated : 04 July 2016 By CNS Staff/AO

Former Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has said that he would not consider managing the England national team.

Coleman who has guided Wales to a Euro 2016 Semi-Final against Portugal on Wednesday night told the BBC: "It's not something I think I would get offered, but I would never rule it in to be honest.

"Roy has lost his job so England will search again, but it's not something that would ever enter my thinking.

"I'm a Welshman through and through and, at international football, it was only Wales, and it would only ever be Wales.

"I think my next job after Wales, whenever that is, will be abroad.

"I quite fancy the chance of going abroad again, because I think that's my best chance of managing in the Champions League.

"When you're talking about Champions League football in the Premier League, you're talking about the top clubs - the massive clubs.

"It's not something I think I'd get linked with, so my best chance of managing Champions League football would be abroad.

"It's an ambition of mine. But to manage another country? No, I wouldn't. That's not something I would consider."
