Chris Coleman admits he was tempted 'a little' by Hull City job but says his work isn't done with Wales

Chris Coleman has conceded his head was turned ‘a little’ by an approach from Hull during the summer but resisted a Premier League move because he is still ‘desperate’ for more success as Wales manager.

Hull were keen to appoint Coleman as a replacement for Steve Bruce after the 46-year-old steered his country to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and would likely have trebled his wages.

The prospect of guiding Wales to the 2018 World Cup in Russia was a bigger carrot for Coleman though, and he said that desire had not dampened even after achieving the remarkable in France.
