CHRIS Coleman could be on collision course with the Football Association of Wales over talks about a new contract.

The man who made history by leading Wales to a first major tournament in 58 years is out of contract after Euro 2016 in France.

And, as the nation prepares to celebrate once again after tomorrow night’s final qualifier against Andorra at the Cardiff City Stadium, there appear to be some storm clouds on the horizon.

Coleman’s stock has never been higher and he is fully aware that he may not get a better chance to return to managing in the Premier League.

Amid the jubilant scenes in Bosnia on Saturday night he said that he felt like signing a ten-year contract to remain as national boss.

But at a press conference on Monday he made it clear that, if he is to stay, things will have to change at the FAW. “I think we need to change the structure,” said Coleman. “I’ve had a polite conversation with certain people about the structure and how we can improve it.

“We need to keep pushing forward. We can’t say ‘we’ve qualified so we don’t have to change anything’ – that’s not true.

“You can always get better. You should always keep pushing. You should never be in a position where you’re comfortable.

“Once you start getting into that position you never achieve anything.

“It’s up to me now to grab a few people and say ‘look, we’ve done this but to get to there we need to change certain things.’ “People don’t like coming out of their comfort zone because it’s new territory and it makes them feel a little bit inferior.

“But it’s suck it and see – we’ve got a plan and it’s a bit different. It may backfire but to be original, I suppose you’ve got to be prepared to take the criticism.

“If it’s something you really believe in then you’ve got to go with it.

“So when I sit down and speak with everyone we’re going to do things a bit differently.”

Asked if the issue was one that could seriously preclude him from continuing in the job, Coleman replied: “I have no idea.”

He added: “It’s not like I’ve got a huge game plan that is completely different and they’re going to go ‘what’s that?’ but there are certain things we need to change and to improve.

“We’ve been doing it in a certain way and we’ve succeeded and now it’s about how can we improve.

“I know what we need to improve but obviously that’s a conversation I need to have with the powers that be.

“It’s about staff, how we run it, the structure but I don’t want to go into it too much now.”

Coleman says that if and when he does move on nothing will compare to leading Wales to France next summer.

“I’m as proud as I’ve never been in my life – it’s the biggest achievement I’ve ever had,” said the former Fulham boss.

“No matter where I go afterwards, even if I was to join a club and win the Premier League, I’m not sure I could top the feeling of going to the Euros with Wales.”

But he doesn’t consider himself the ‘special one’ of Welsh football.

“Most people will look at it and say we created history and I was the man in charge,” he added.

“Certain people who don’t like me will try to water down what I’ve done and say we’ve done it because of this before or that before.

“Some people will get carried away and say I’m this or I’m that and I’m actually not.

“I don’t think I’m absolutely fantastic or that I’ve reinvented football.

“I’m not one of those new age coaches that think their doing something no one has ever seen before.

“It’s been hard work; we had a plan, we stuck to it. We’ve had a bit of luck, great determination and we’ve got some good players and it’s worked out for me.”
