Coleman’s Finals envy

‘I’D LOVE A SHOT AT WORLD CUP’

- JOHN RICHARDSON

CHRIS COLEMAN admits to being envious of Robert Page leading Wales into their first World Cup finals since 1958.

But Coleman, who led his country to the proudest moment in their history – reaching the Euro 2016 semifinals – will never return as manager.

Currently in charge of Athens-based Greek side Atromitos, the 52-year-old is still an avid follower of the Dragons who complete their Nations League campaign against Poland today.

“Wales international football is as good as it’s ever been right now,” he said. “Of course, there is a bit of me which wishes it was me taking them to the World Cup finals.

“I look at Robert Page, who I really love, and yes there is part of me which wishes I was in his place. It was the same when Ryan Giggs qualified for the last European Championships. But that is as far it goes.
