Could Craig Bellamy be the next Wales manager?

Personally I think there is a chance Bells could be on their list,This will be Bellamy's last season playing for us and going in to management is what I believe he would consider.

Tony Pullis would be better in my opinion.







Craig Bellamy emerges as potential shock alternative to Wales boss Chris Coleman

Could Craig Bellamy be the next Wales manager?


Craig Bellamy may emerge as a shock alternative to Chris Coleman should the question marks over his future result in a hunt for a new Wales manager, we can reveal today.

Coleman is facing a make-or- break week as Wales boss, knowing failure to beat Macedonia in Friday’s World Cup clash at Cardiff City Stadium could make his position untenable in the eyes of many.

Coleman has himself thrown doubt over whether he will sign a new two-year deal which has been on the table and accepts his Football Association of Wales employers may withdraw the offer.

It means questions are already being aired as to who could step into the Wales hot-seat should Coleman go at the end of a miserable campaign which sees Wales bottom of Group A.

We understand Bellamy’s name is one of those being circulated as a potential option if Welsh football chiefs need to begin a search for a man to lead the Wales into the Euro 2016 campaign.

Former Stoke boss Tony Pulis is another whose name is being mentioned behind the scenes, while FAW bigwigs have always coveted Ryan Giggs as the high-profile figure who they believe could bring Welsh football back together and end the apathy sweeping over the national team.

But 34-year-old Bellamy, who came on in the second half for Cardiff in their 2-1 home defeat against Newcastle yesterday, is also emerging as a serious contender and could even link up with Raymond Verheijen, the man who worked as Gary Speed’s No2 and who has been highly critical of the FAW regime.



' Bellamy final bow for Wales this week '


Bellamy is set to make his final bow as a Wales player after a 76-cap career at the end of this campaign with the side taking on Belgium in Brussels following the Macedonia clash.

He may be surprised by seeing his name so heavily linked with the Wales post and will want to do his bit in the coming matches to ensure Coleman’s team finish on a high.

But Bellamy has spoken before of a desire to enter management one day and already has his coaching A-Licence.

Wales have had a history of giving former players a shot at management with then-rookies Mike England, Terry Yorath, Mark Hughes and Gary Speed having been a success in the job while Giggs has been repeatedly courted.

FAW powerbrokers are historically a cautious group and there is still a view from some that Coleman should be awarded his new deal.

But Coleman himself admits he might not sign the contract with ‘minor issues’ still to be agreed upon amidst perception he is on trial over the next two games.

Chief executive Jonathan Ford had stated Coleman needed to ensure he records “a couple of good results” in the coming week. It comes as Ford is keen to continue his modernisation of the entire FAW, having recently authorised the publication of a damning review into the way the game is run in Wales in a bid to force through change.

Pulis would be a disaster for Wales.

Our strength (as it is) is in midfield. What would be the point in appointing a manager who will completely by-pass the midfield?

Yes, but Pulis is not the answer. Or if he is, then someone is asking the wrong question.

Assuming Bellamy can get his ideas accross he'd be a good decision in that regard. He's always praised Swansea's football and the passing game in general.

Yes but it should have happened after Gary Speed''s tragic death im sure he could have undertook the role on a part-time basis with the same coaches t help out

We have had t put up with Coleman & that oaf Hartson ruining the most improved international team with their bizarre tactics & poor man management played out in the media in public like a circus.

Wales need a Spanish manager. With the midfield Wales has they need a manager who's ethos is possession in the middle of the park. Not only does this lead to openings and frustrate the opposition but it alleviates the pressure on our defence.
