Coleman’s birthday Fortune

Former Wales and Sunderland boss Chris Coleman was named coach of Chinese side Hebei China Fortune on Sunday — making it a 48th birthday to remember. Coleman is the surprise successor to Manuel Pellegrini, who left Hebei last month to take over at EPL West Ham United. Coleman, who turned 48 on Sunday, is just the latest foreign coach in the Chinese Super League, having recently lost his job at Sunderland following its relegation into England’s third tier. “We welcome the arrival of Mr Coleman and expect him to bring new ideas and lead the team to continue the pursuit of this season’s aims,” Hebei said on Weibo. Coleman takes over at a Hebei side that boasts Argentina defender Javier Mascherano and is 10th in the 16-team CSL.
