West Brom's Tony Pulis plays down Wales talk as Coleman mulls future

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has played down speculation linking him to the Wales job.

Pulis, 59, was born in the Welsh town of Newport and is a potential favourite for the role as current manager Chris Coleman assesses his future.

Wales failed to qualify for the World Cup after a 1-0 home defeat to Republic of Ireland on Monday ended their hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Coleman has said he is considering his position, but Pulis said: "I'm quite happy where I am, and I think it's wrong we're even talking about someone who's still in a job.

"Chris has done a fantastic job there and he'll be very disappointed at the moment, as the nation are.

"Time is a great healer, and we'll see what Chris does in the next couple of months."

Pulis has West Brom in 10th place in the Premier League this season ahead of Monday's trip to Leicester.
