Chris Coleman has agreed a new deal to continue as Wales manager after Euro 2016, according to Sky sources.

Coleman was appointed as Wales boss in January 2012, replacing the late Gary Speed, and has been rewarded with a new deal after leading his country to their first major finals since the 1958 World Cup.

The 45-year-old's previous contract was set to expire following the conclusion of the finals in France. 

Coleman, capped 32 times by Wales as a player, is expected to confirm the length of the deal when he speaks to the media on Monday.
