Wales boss Chris Coleman has played down a return to Crystal Palace.

Coleman played for the Eagles in the 1990s and made over 150 appearances.

Wales are struggling in their 2018 World Cup qualifying group - they are third - behind Serbia and the Republic of Ireland. And the Dragons face Serbia in a must-win game on June 11.

Coleman, whose deal runs out next summer, has been linked with the Palace job before.

He said: “I had a good time at Palace, but I’m only thinking about Serbia. That's all I'm thinking about, that's all I care about. All I care about now is Wales.

“I don't think about after Serbia, I can't afford to think past one game. Lots of things have been said off the back of comments I made at the start of the campaign when I signed a new contract.

“But honestly, I cannot go into a game of football thinking - 'If we lose’ - I’ve never thought like that. It's about making sure our boys perform like they have been. We're not far off.”

Coleman’s stock as a manager rose when he led his country to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

But a testing 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign has cast doubt over the former Fulham manager’s Wales future.
