Manager Jayne Ludlow and her Wales team aim to extend their World Women’s Cup unbeaten run against Bosnia Herzegovina on Tuesday (12.30pm). They won 1-0 against Kazakhstan at home on Friday to stay top of group one, ahead of England, and Ludlow says: “We’ll have a certain game plan now in Bosnia and hope it’ll […]
Craig Bellamy would jump at the chance of taking over as Wales manager – even though he has admitted he is not ready for a Premier League job. As Chris Coleman prepares for his first match as Sunderland boss following his decision to leave the Wales job, Bellamy has put his name forward as a possible successor. The 38-year-old former striker – currently coaching in the academy at Cardiff City – is already third favourite for the Wales role behind Tony Pulis and Ryan Giggs.
Chris Coleman is hoping Gareth Bale continues his reign in Spain and vetoes a return to the Premier League. Rumours are rife about Real Madrid beginning to lose patience with their £85m star signing after he picked up a groin injury having just overcome a calf problem. He has missed 40 of the last 60 matches for the reigning La Liga champions.
Chris Coleman has waved goodbye, paid his thanks, and shaken hands – but he still does not know if he has taken charge of his final Wales match. Coleman did all the things a departing manager might be expected to do after his team had drawn 1-1 with Panama in a friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday night. There was the wave to fans and raised applause, the acknowledgments of the contributions of others, and the best wishes for what he hopes will be a bright future for the young side that, in the strict contractual sense, he has now ended his association with.
Wales had to settle for a draw against nine-man Romania in the Uefa Under-21 Championship clash at Bangor University Stadium. Romania, unbeaten leaders of group eight, had two players sent off during the second half, but the visitors held out for a goalless draw. “We created enough chances to have won the match and it’s […]
Chis Coleman says his time as Wales manager will never be tarnished if Tuesday night’s friendly against Panama proves to be his final game. Coleman takes charge of Wales for the 49th time with talks over a new contract set to resume after the Cardiff clash with the surprise World Cup qualifiers. The 47-year-old wants certain guarantees over his backroom staff before signing a new deal and extending a near-six-year reign which has included taking Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
Wales are fighting for their Uefa under-21 Championship lives. They badly need a big performance against group leaders Romania at Bangor City on Tuesday if they are to maintain hopes of making progress. The young Dragons suffered a four-goal defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina only a few days ago and they are five points behind […]
Chris Coleman hopes his future as Wales manager will be resolved by the time his contract runs out at the end of this month. Coleman will take charge of his 50th international at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday night, when his side faces World Cup qualifiers Panama, with his future still hanging in the balance. The man who led Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 wants assurances over full-time positions for some members of his back-up team, as well as an improved contract for himself.
Matty Dolan enjoyed one of his best moments in a Newport County shirt when he scored against Port Vale, but his evening ended in despair. The midfield player was booked later during the 1-1 draw, his fifth caution of the season, and will miss next Saturday’s League Two match at Accrington Stanley because of suspension. […]
Wales must beat Romania next Tuesday to keep their Uefa Under-21 Championship hopes alive. They are fourth in group eight following a crushing 4-0 defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina at Nantporth, Bangor. Manager Robert Page and his Welsh team now take on Romania at the same venue (6pm). That match will be shown live on S4C […]
Chris Coleman insists the future will belong to the young for Wales – despite the defeat that marked the Wales debuts of Ethan Ampadu and David Brooks. Ampadu, 17, and 20-year-old Brooks made their international bows at the Stade de France in Paris on Friday night but could not prevent World Cup-bound France from a gaining a deserved 2-0 win. For Wales, the friendly was about setting a new course after their failure to make next summer’s finals. In that sense, the 64th minute emergence of Ampadu and Brooks was notable as was their enthusiastic and bold contribution to an open second-half.
Liverpool striker Harry Wilson will lead the Wales attack in their Uefa under-21 Championship match against Bosnia and Herzegovina at Bangor FC. Wilson joins a team who have earned six points from three away fixtures in their group and now have back-to-back home fixtures. Manager Robert Page and his players take on Bosnia in Bangor […]
