Coleman willing to stay and lead Sunderland back up the English football pyramid

CHRIS COLEMAN wants to lead relegated Sunderland’s fight for promotion from League One after he revealed yesterday that he has still not spoken to owner Ellis Short.

The former Wales boss saw his side slip out of the Championship 12 months after their exit from the Premier League as a result of last Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Burton.

He is keen to remain in the job he started in November last year, but, with Short in the United States and leaving the running of the club to chief executive Martin Bain, he admits the Black Cats are “almost floating aimlessly in the dark.”
