Chris Coleman quit on Wednesday as coach of Spanish Second Division side Real Sociedad with the Welshman citing differences with the new president of the club Inaki Badiola. The 37-year-old former Welsh international defender and manager of Fulham had only been at the two-time Spanish champions since last July but he said it was impossible for him and his assistant Steve Kean to carry on in his present role. "We signed for three years and we thought that would be enough time to do a good job," said Coleman, who has been linked with the role as defence coach at Newcastle United under the Magpies new manager Kevin Keegan. "But things have changed." It is clear that there are different points of view over the club and how we should work.
