Chris Coleman calls for thorough assessment

Chris Coleman insists that he will not make a snap decision on his future as Wales manager based on their promising finish to their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Chris Coleman has insisted that he will not make a snap judgement on his Wales future based on their promising finish to their World Cup qualifying campaign.

The Dragons boss oversaw a victory against Macedonia and a 1-1 draw in Belgium this week, but Wales still finished fifth in Group A, seven points adrift of a playoff place.

The 43-year-old's contract with the Football Association of Wales expires next month, and talks over a new deal had been postponed until after these two matches.

While this past week's results put Coleman in a stronger negotiating position, he has stressed that the whole qualifying campaign should be assessed before he or the FAOW makes a decision on his future.

"We will enjoy tonight and I know my contract ends in November and I am always looking long term and the bigger picture," he told Sky Sports News. "I won't change what I have said, I'm here for the Finland game and then after that I'll look at everything and decide whether I am the man going forward.

"Maybe someone else will decide that before I do, I don't know. We'll enjoy tonight and enjoy these last 10 days but I'm just really proud of the players, they have been fantastic.

"I don't want people to judge me on these two games, I want people to be realistic and look at the whole campaign and the problems we have faced."

Coleman took the Wales post in 2012 following the death of his close friend Gary Speed.
