Sunderland fans have welcomed Chris Coleman to their hearts since the former Wales manager became the North East outfit's new boss earlier this month.

He celebrated his first victory with the Black Cats in just his second game in-charge as late goals from James Vaughan and George Honeyman earned his new club a 2-0 victory over Burton last weekend.

And it seems the Sunderland faithful are loving their new boss... as this brilliant clip shows.

Coleman was answering questions from his new club's fans live on BBC Radio Newcastle, although one supporter didn't actually have anything to ask.

When introduced live on air by the presenters, the fan - named Steve - simply said: "Hello lads, alright? Hello mate. I just want to welcome you to Sunderland Chris, I'm over the moon that you're here. Brilliant. We're unbeaten I believe?"

To which Coleman responded: "No I lost my first game away at Villa."

And the fan delivered a truly fantastic response.

He added: "I've had a few cans, I've been drinking. I haven't got a question, I just thought I'd ring up for a chat."

Coleman was left laughing uncontrollably live on air. And it's safe to say the Stadium of Light outfit is buzzing following the appointment of the former Wales manager.
