LONDON: Chris Coleman quit as Wales manager on Friday to take over at English Championship club Sunderland after he failed to steer his country to the World Cup.
Coleman, who led a Gareth Bale-inspired Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016, will be given the job of lifting Sunderland off the bottom of the table and ultimately winning promotion back to the Premier League.
His future with Wales was in doubt from the moment they failed to qualify for Russia 2018.
Jonathan Ford, Chief Executive of the Football Association of Wales, said: “We are extremely disappointed to see Chris’ tenure as Wales manager come to an end. “The FAW and Wales as a nation will be eternally grateful for the job he has done over the last six years. “We wish Chris the very best of luck for the future.”
