The 2018 World Cup campaign will be Chris Coleman s last as Wales manager, according to the boss himself.
One of the most popular figures in Wales, Coleman guided the country to a remarkable semi-final berth at Euro 2016.
The 46-year-old, who took the reins in 2012, has a contract through to 2018 but he has no intention of continuing beyond Russia in two years time.
I am sure this will be my last campaign whether we qualify or not, said Coleman.
That will be six or seven years in the job, which is a long time. So I think this will be my last hit, at it so I will give it my best shot, but I would not consider going anywhere else. I want to see this through.
There s success in this team, I think, because they re at a good age. But I ll certainly give everything I ve got in this next campaign. I ll make sure they do.
Coleman, whose team kick-off their World Cup qualifying campaign against Moldova on September 5, added: If they [FAW] wanted to talk to me about another contract I would be cashing in a bit, wouldn t I? Same as if I jumped ship and went somewhere else because we had done well at a tournament.
I would not feel right. I have signed a good contract and I am looking forward to the campaign.
