Coleman demands Wales stay clear of 'comfort zone'

The trainer wants his men to stay consistent performers on the big stage and urged them to start by qualifying for the World Cup convincingly

Chris Coleman has called on Wales to build on their Euro 2016 heroics, avoiding their "comfort zone" and qualifying convincingly for the World Cup.

Wales reached the semi-finals in their European Championship debut and first appearance at a major tournament since 1958.

A Gareth Bale-led outfit impressed onlookers on their road to the last four, picking up impressive 3-0 and 3-1 results against Russia and Belgium respectively.

And Coleman is now adamant that his team must book a place at the event in Russia in 2018 as they bid to become regulars on the big stage.
