Wales name Craig Bellamy as their new manager on a four-year deal... as the former Burnley assistant replaces Rob Page after they failed to qualify for Euro 2024

Craig Bellamy has been confirmed as the new Wales manager following the sacking of Rob Page.

The 44-year-old has signed a four-year contract and will speak publicly for the first time on Wednesday as he accept his first job in senior management.

The former Wales forward, who won 78 caps for his country, had been part of Vincent Kompany’s coaching team at Burnley but did not follow the Belgian to Bayern Munich earlier this summer.

Bellamy said: ‘It’s an incredible honour for me to be given the opportunity to lead my country and it’s the proudest moment of my career.
