By the time the floodlights go out tonight in Real Sociedad’s Anoeta Stadium, Chris Coleman’s future in Spain could be a little clearer. If his team have lost, he probably does not have one… but if they have beaten Malaga – the leaders of La Liga’s second tier – he will have drastically improved his chances of seeing in the new year in San Sebastian, should he still want to.
