Symons would lose Wales post if appointed Fulham boss

Wales coach Chris Coleman says assistant Kit Symons will not be able to keep his job in the coaching set-up if he is appointed Fulham boss. Symons has been in temporary charge at Craven Cottage since Felix Magath's sacking and is favourite to succeed the German.

Ex-Cottagers boss Coleman, who played alongside Symons at the club, would be disappointed to lose his coach.

"If he does get it he won't be able to do both," Coleman said.

"If he gets it I'll be delighted for Kit but I certainly don't want to lose him.

"I think he really wants the job and I'd like to see him get the chance," Coleman added.

"I think he would be good for Fulham. I think it's what Fulham needs, someone like Kit who absolutely loves the club at heart."
