Chris Coleman has expressed determination to lead Wales to the 2018 World Cup after dismissing talk of him becoming Crystal Palace's next manager.
Sam Allardyce's shock departure as Palace boss on Tuesday inevitably led to Coleman being linked once again with his former club.
Wales manager Coleman made 190 appearances for the Eagles between 1991 and 1995 and has been linked with Palace in the past when the manager's job has become vacant.
"I'd love to go back to the Palace," Coleman said, jokingly referring to receiving his OBE at Buckingham Palace last week.
"I had a good time at the Palace. But I'm sure Prince Charles is not ready for me to go back just yet!"
