Chris Coleman has played down talk linking him with the Southampton and Coventry jobs, saying he is in no rush to return to management.

The former Fulham boss is out of work after leaving Real Sociedad last month following a row with president Inaki Badiola.

And Coleman has been mentioned as a possible contender for the vacant manager's jobs at Championship clubs Southampton and Coventry.

There are Spanish sides also thought to have enquired about Coleman, but the Welshman says he will not be rushing back into management.

He told the Daily Mail: "I've been linked with a few clubs but I won't rush back in.

"There is fire in my belly to be on the touchline but I haven't asked anybody to consider me to be the manager of their club.

"I'm not interested at the minute."
