Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has taken over at struggling Belgian top-flight club OH Leuven, three days after leaving his last job.

The 54-year-old left his head coach role at Cypriot side AEL Limassol, where he had been in post since May this year.

Coleman left that job by mutual consent and now finds himself in charge of a team third from bottom in the Belgium Pro League with three wins from 15 games this season.

Limassol are currently eighth in the Cypriot first division, having won four from 11 games this term.

Limassol said: "We sincerely thank Mr Coleman for his contribution to our team during our partnership. His ethos and character are elements that have won the respect of all who make up our football department.

"We wish him every success in the next phase of his career, as well as health and happiness on a personal level."
