Late vacancy manager.3/28/2023 “The decision to break the contract here has nothing to do with the vacancy with Wales at the moment. That had an effect on everything else and I’ve been unhappy for quite a while. The FAW hope to appoint a new boss by the nation’s next match against Costa Rica on February 29, but Coleman has been quick to quash any link that his departure in Greece has been triggered by the availability of the position.Ĭoleman said: “My problems at Larissa started three months ago when things went wrong financially. “There will be tweaks here or there whoever takes the job and the new manager will make up his own mind what they want or don’t want and will continue from there.” “Whoever gets the job has big boots to fill, but any manager going into any job has to put their own stamp on it. “Wales were very good in the last three games, playing lovely football and Gary put his stamp on it. “I went through the process the first time and I don’t think the things I wanted to do were a million miles away from what Gary was doing. “They are in a difficult position, but I think they have acted in a very professional manner in a difficult situation. “It’s also difficult for the FAW because if they wait too long then they will be told they aren’t being pro-active or if they appoint someone too quickly then they haven’t waited long enough. I still can’t get my head around the whole situation and I’m sure a lot of other people feel the same. The FAW have yet to discuss the national job in a formal capacity following the tragic death of Speed at the age of 42 in November.Īnd Coleman, who is the bookies’ favourite at 1/3, insists the circumstances for the vacancy are not ideal for any new perspective manager.Ĭoleman added: “It’s sensitive for me, because Gary was one of my closest friends in football. If that is what takes place, I will be happy to accept it.” “And if you are asked to coach and manage your country, then it is an honour. The former Fulham and Coventry boss will be out-of-work when he leaves Greek club Larissa this week, amid financial difficulties.Īnd the ex-Wales captain, who was pipped to the post by Speed in December 2010, admits he would be ‘honoured’ if the Football Association of Wales make an approach.Ĭoleman, 41, said: “If you get a phone call and you’re an out-of-work manager, you can’t be too choosy. Chris Coleman wants to replace the late Gary Speed as the manager of Wales.
