Bullish Craig Bellamy challenges Wales to be ‘one of the top national teams’
‘We want to have a big impact in major tournaments’Unbeaten manager aiming to top Nations League group
Craig Bellamy has reiterated that he does not want Wales to settle for mediocrity, insisting he plans to establish them as “one of the top national teams”. Bellamy is unbeaten since accepting his first job as a manager in the summer and said he still gets “goosebumps” every time he remembers his title.
Bellamy takes charge of his sixth game on Tuesday, when Iceland visit in the Nations League. Wales, 29th in the Fifa rankings, are second in Group B and must win in Cardiff and hope Turkey drop points in Montenegro to have any chance of topping their group and avoiding a playoff in March, which would delay the start of their World Cup qualifying campaign next year.
