PARIS (Reuters) - World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said he would consider running for Thomas Bach's job after the head of the International Olympic Committee said he will not seek to stay on after his second term ends in 2025.

Bach has been in charge since 2013, while Coe, a two-time Olympic 1,500 metres champion and president of the 2012 London Olympics Organising Committee, has previously expressed his interest in the IOC position.
