Swansea City remain keen on speaking with Chris Coleman about their managerial vacancy, sources have told ESPN FC, despite the Wales manager's wife indicating he would not be a contender for the job.
Coleman, who steered Wales to the semifinals at Euro 2016, has been linked with a move to the Liberty Stadium following the dismissal of Bob Bradley after only 11 games in charge.
Writing on Twitter, Charlotte Coleman said that although the Mumbles -- an area of Swansea Bay -- "are lovely," her husband had said "after Wales that we would hopefully move abroad." She wished Swansea good luck.
However, sources said Swansea's American owners, Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien, do not consider the tweet to be the final say in the matter and still favour Coleman over other candidates including Ryan Giggs.
Charlotte Coleman's comments came after Press Association Sport reported that the Football Association of Wales (FAW) was "relaxed" about reports linking Coleman with the Swans.
Reports suggested the club could make an official approach for Swansea-born Coleman, who played nearly 200 games for them between 1987 and 1991.
Coleman was willing to speak to Hull over their managerial vacancy at the start of the season, but the FAW blocked the move.
The mumbles are lovely but my husband has said publically after Wales we would hopefully move abroad - but good luck to Swansea ! https://t.co/MZoa5kcC9d

The former Fulham and Real Sociedad boss later said he would not walk away from Wales in the middle of the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The 46-year-old said in 2009 that he would never want to manage Swansea.
He told BBC Wales the club was "in my heart," but added that he did not want his family to face the pressure if a managerial stint at his hometown club went badly.
Manchester United legend Giggs has also been linked with the vacancy, while ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp said it would be "an interesting challenge."
Meanwhile, club stalwart Alan Curtis and fellow first-team coach Paul Williams will be in charge on a "game-by-game basis," starting with Saturday's home match against Bournemouth.
Curtis added: "Somebody could come in as we speak, tomorrow or by the weekend, but I will be in charge on Saturday and we will take it from there.
"We have a game at Crystal Palace on Tuesday and we will prepare accordingly depending on circumstances. We have picked the team for the weekend, and we concentrate on that game."
He praised Bradley's commitment during his time at Swansea, saying: "He was first in to the club, usually at seven in the morning, and the last to leave at six in the evening.
"His workrate and effort were second to none -- probably the best I've seen at the club."
