Coleman was dismissed by Sunderland at the end of April.
Some Sunderland fans are discussing a Wearside return for Chris Coleman, less than a month after the Welshman’s departure as manager.
It follows confirmation of Stewart Donald’s takeover of the League One bound club, replacing Ellis Short as owner at the Stadium of Light.
And speaking at his first press conference on Monday, Donald told the Chronicle he had ‘nothing at all’ to do with Coleman’s sacking and insisted: ‘it was all Ellis’ – before adding that Sunderland could reinstate the 47-year-old.
Coleman oversaw Sunderland’s relegation last season, but remained popular with the bulk of the club’s fanbase throughout his five-month reign.
And some of them have already been in touch with Donald, as well as Coleman’s wife Charlotte Jackson, about taking back their former boss.
Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…
Coleman is already creeping up Sky Bet’s list of potential Sunderland appointments, although he remains the front runner to take over at Swansea City, his hometown team.
