Without even stopping to think about how cursed the England national team seat is right now, Wales manager Chris Coleman didn't even flinch when asked if he would take an offer from the England FA to manage the Three Lions. e spoke to the press about the whole scandal involving Sam Allardyce and confirmed he wouldn't even listen to a possible offer coming from them.
Coleman first said this about Big Sam: "I'm really disappointed for Sam. I was with him last week in Paris for a coach's conference. I've known him for a long time, I knew how much he wanted the job and I knew how proud he was. I'm gutted for him that he's lost his job through events off the pitch rather than on the pitch. I knew how passionate he was, I think he would have done a good job. You'd expect England to qualify and then he'd be judged on the tournament. I know he'll be devastated. He made a mistake, he's admitted that, and it's a shame. Someone with his experience, he's just let his guard down and he's lost his job over it."
About a possible offer to coach England, Coleman added: "That's football - we do well in six games in the tournament and it's great for us. That question would never have been asked to me before the tournament. My answer to the England job would be a big fat no, anyway. I think the next England manager should be an Englishman. It shouldn't be anyone from overseas; I don't care what his record is. Unless you're from that country you can never ever know what it means to represent that country. You'd never see Germany, Italy or Spain looking outside. Why should England look further afield? Gareth, Brucey [Steve Bruce], that's where they should be looking. Certainly not a Welshman. Certainly not this Welshman."
