Coleman’s China fight

- BY DARREN WITCOOP

CHRIS COLEMAN is fighting to save his job at Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune.

The former Wales boss has come under increasing pressure after winning just one of his six games – against rock-bottom Guizhou Zhicheng.

And Coleman, 48, is now facing calls for his head with his big-spending club lying in mid-table.

Another defeat to Shanghai Shenhua today will only turn up the heat.

Coleman banked a whopping £3.5million a year when he replaced West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini in the hot-seat.

But he is now on the brink just months into his two-and-a-half-year deal in Asia.
