Everton defender Ashley Williams has urged Wales coach Chris Coleman not to walk away.

Coleman, whose side face Austria on September 2, plans to quit as Wales boss when his contract expires at the end of the 2018 World Cup campaign in October.

But Everton defender Williams told The Sun: “On behalf of all the players we would love him to stay.

“Inevitably, it's his career and decision and he needs to do what he feels is best for him and his family. We understand how it is.

“We as players haven't spoken about it but my opinion is we're desperate and would love Chris to stay."
