‘My ultimate dream’: Craig Bellamy confirmed as Wales manager
He signs deal to 2028 after leaving Burnley coaching roleFormer forward won 78 caps during Wales playing days
Craig Bellamy said he had achieved his “ultimate dream” by being appointed Wales manager, after the former captain signed a four-year contract to succeed Rob Page. Bellamy has been coaching since retiring from playing in 2014 but this represents his first No 1 role.
Bellamy, who worked as an assistant to Vincent Kompany at Anderlecht and Burnley, was identified as the Football Association of Wales’ preferred candidate after Page was sacked on the back of dismal friendly results against Gibraltar and Slovakia last month.
