    Former Liverpool Striker Bellamy Named As Wales National Team Coach

    Craig Bellamy has been appointed as the new head coach of the Wales national football team on a contract until 2028, the Football Association of Wales (FAW) announced Tuesday.

    Bellamy has replaced Rob Page, who was sacked following Walesโ€™ failure to qualify for Euro 2024.

    The 44-year-old former Liverpool, Newcastle and Wales striker leaves Burnley, where he was assistant to former manager Vincent Kompany last season as they were relegated from the Premier League.

    โ€œI will give my full commitment to develop this team and I am passionate to bring continued success into Welsh football,โ€ Bellamy told the FAW website.

    โ€œI canโ€™t wait to get started with our Nations League games in September.โ€

    The FAWโ€™s chief football officer, Dr David Adams, said: โ€œI am absolutely delighted to announce Craig as our new head coach.

    โ€œWe undertook a thorough recruitment process for the new menโ€™s national team head coach and Craig was identified as the standout candidate.

    โ€œWe are all looking forward to the Nations League games and working with Craig to deliver success for Welsh Football.โ€

    Burnley chairman Alan Pace added: โ€œI want to thank Craig for all his hard work during his time at Burnley and wish him the best for his new position as Wales manager.

    โ€œCraig has been a very important part of our wonderful journey the last two years. Iโ€™ve admired his leadership, knowledge and passion.โ€

    Page guided Wales to their first World Cup in 64 years in 2022 and to the second round of Euro 2020 but failed to reach this yearโ€™s Euros, losing in a penalty shoot-out to Poland in a play-off.

    But he subsequently oversaw one of the most embarrassing results in Walesโ€™ history, a 0-0 draw with Gibraltar in a friendly and then suffered a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Slovakia.

    Walesโ€™ next game is the opening match of their Nations League campaign against Turkey on September 6, with a trip to Montenegro three days later.
