Wales boss Chris Coleman laughs off England job link

Wales boss Chris Coleman has dismissed suggestions that he could become the next England manager.

Coleman’s stock has soared as Wales have marched to the semi-finals of Euro 2016, while England’s embarrassment at losing to Iceland and failing to get beyond the last 16 has left them looking for a managerial successor to Roy Hodgson.

The 46-year-old former Fulham boss signed a new two-year deal on the eve of the tournament to take in Wales’ 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, but his Wales wage, understood to be around £220,000 (€260,000) per year, is minuscule in comparison to the reported £3.5m salary that the Football Association paid Hodgson towards the end of his four-year England reign.
