Sunderland boss Chris Coleman says that he is keen to remain in charge even if the club are relegated.

Sunderland manager Chris Coleman has revealed that he is keen to remain at the club even if they are relegated from the Championship.

The Black Cats head into the weekend in 23rd place in the table, eight points from a position of safety with six games remaining, but the former Wales boss is hoping to stay in charge regardless of whether they pull off a great escape.

"It's not about the division we are in, it's about who owns the club and what the plan is," Sky Sports News quotes Coleman as saying.

"It won't be because I'm saying I don't want to be here, not at all. I wanted to manage Sunderland whichever league. It will be what is the future, who is the owner and what are the plans for the club?

"Am I in the plans? Am I not? The answer to where my future is is with someone else. I don't know where we will be yet or who will be with me or who will be here full stop. I hope to God I am here. I want to be here."

Sunderland are back in Championship action this weekend when they take on Leeds United at Elland Road.
