Coleman set for new contract

CHRIS Coleman expects to sign a new two-year contract as Fulham manager this week — but only if his number two Steve Kean is also offered acceptable terms to stay on.

Former Wales international Coleman, 34 next month, has done a remarkable job in his first full season in charge after a motor accident ended his playing career.

He has steered Fulham to the brink of UEFA Cup qualification and Saturday's 1-1 draw at Portsmouth keeps them in with a chance of finishing fifth in the Premiership.
