Wales: Craig Bellamy should be given job - Cliff Jones
By Rob Westall
BBC Sport Wales
Former Wales captain Craig Bellamy should be given a job in his country's coaching set-up, according to Welsh football legend Cliff Jones.
Jones, a member of the 1958 Wales team which reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, believes Bellamy has a lot to offer.
Bellamy, who won 78 caps for his country, retired in May.
"I'm just wondering if there could be some little job for Craig in the Welsh set up," said Jones.
“He is one of my favourite footballers of all time”

Bellamy, 34, played his final game in the Bluebirds' 2-1 Premier League defeat by Chelsea and retired from international football in October 2013.
He played for seven clubs in the Premier League, including Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United, and said he will now prepare to move into management.
Bellamy has said previously that managing Wales is one of his ambitions.
Cliff Jones, who played 59 times for Wales and was in the Tottenham side that won the Football League and FA Cup double in the 1960-61 season.
He says Bellamy has a lot to offer Chris Coleman's team.
"I thought he was fantastic - Bellamy," said Jones.
"He is one of my favourite footballers of all time.
"He could be a bit of a loose canon at times, but he played for you as a winner.
"I know that he would relish it because he's a proud Welshman and I've got a lot of respect for him."

Let him prove his worth as a manager, or as a coach, like everybody else.

Keep him as far as possible from any Welsh set up.

Why ? why does he deserve a job above somebody with prooven experience.Let him get his coaching badges and start with a lower league team like most other managers do, or coaching youngsters in an acadamy.

Get him in there. There weren't many players who had the passion for the shirt as him. When we played Holland only 3 players sang the anthem, made me realise how little passion there is in the Welsh side
