Craig Bellamy commits future to Wales: I'm not going anywhere

Craig Bellamy has committed himself to Wales after speculation linking him with the Celtic and Burnley jobs.

Despite the hurt of missing out on World Cup qualification following defeat in the play-offs in March, Bellamy is fully focused on his current role and being the Wales boss for a home Euros in 2028.

Speaking on Monday ahead of Wales' friendly against Ghana on Tuesday night, Bellamy insists he wants to see the job through over the next two years with his country.

He said: "I don't need anything else. That'll come at another time and then we'll have a different discussion then.

"But I think four years is about right. I don't think a manager should be longer than that in international football. It will be someone else's turn in two years' time.

"I'm not going anywhere, I've got another two years.

"I am ambitious though, trust me."

On the topic of club football, Bellamy added: "Look, I miss it every day.

"I miss not being able to do this every single day, of course. But I knew what I was coming into as well.

"The relationship I have with Noel [Mooney, FAW CEO] is really, really strong. We speak every day, so we never hide anything as well. I'm completely open and honest with him. He knows exactly how I feel. Any interest, he knows exactly first-hand.

"To me, the most important thing is when that day does come [when he leaves], is it a situation that's going to allow me to become successful? Is it going to have everything in place to allow me to be there? And at this present time, I have that here. Everything's in place. I get completely backed and it's going to give me the opportunity, hopefully in the next two years, to improve again.

"The situation after that, we'll see. Links now, I don't know. I understand it, but I don't look too far into it. That's the honest truth. I love what I have here.

"I hope you're reasonably happy with me and I hope fans are reasonably happy with me. I'm not going to please everyone. I'm not going to be everyone's cup of tea. I do understand that.

"I'm sorry if I pick certain players at certain times. I'm never going to please everyone, but that's the great part of the game.

"That's the responsibility of when you do this as well, so I'm fully focused on the next two years."
