Arsenal midfielder Ramsey hails impact of Wales coach Coleman

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has hailed the impact of Wales coach Chris Coleman.

Ramsey praised manager Coleman for his role in a dramatic Welsh revival which has seen them lose only one of their last nine matches.

Coleman took the captaincy off Ramsey and gave the armband to Ashley Williams when he succeeded the late Gary Speed, but the Arsenal midfielder says the manager has built on the work of his predecessor.

"Chris has done really well," Ramsey said.

"It was always difficult to come in after Gary Speed - whoever the manager was.

"To be fair to the gaffer, he was brave to take on the job and now he has had his own input as well as building what Gary first started off.

"He's done really well and you can see everyone is right behind him. We all want to go in the right direction."
