Wales boss Chris Coleman wins a hero’s kiss
WALES football manager Chris Coleman may have seen his Euro 2016 dream end in agonising defeat but he was treated as a winner by his family today.
Coleman got a kiss from his wife Charlotte Jackson and a hug from his son Finley
The Dragons’ manager got a kiss from his TV presenter wife Charlotte Jackson and a hug from young son Finley after his team’s heroic bid to make the final.
Wales defied all expectations to reach the semi-finals of the tournament but were beaten 2-0 by Portugal on Wednesday night.
But Coleman, 46, was all smiles as he shared a tender moment outside the Golden Tulip hotel in Lyon, where the team were staying.
He might be keen for a rest after his hard work, but that is unlikely – Charlotte, 37, is expecting the couple’s second child next month.

He left his car in a short-stay zone because he thought the Welsh Euro 2016 campaign would be brief.
They told him he can donate the cost, thought to top £1,000, to charity.
