Chris Coleman signs a new two-year deal with the Welsh national team, which will run until after the 2018 World Cup.

Chris Coleman has signed a new two-year deal with the Welsh national team.

The 45-year-old's previous contract with Wales was due to expire after Euro 2016 this summer, but Coleman is now committed to the side until after the 2018 World Cup.

The former Fulham boss replaced the late Gary Speed as head coach of the Dragons in January 2012 and has guided Wales to their first major championship since the 1958 World Cup.

In total, Coleman has won 21 of his 29 matches in charge of the national team and lost just one of his last 11 qualifiers.

Wales begin their Euro 2016 campaign against Slovakia on June 11, before facing England and Russia in Lens and Toulouse respectively.
