Craig Bellamy says he rejected Burnley manager’s job to stay in ‘right place’ with Wales

‘I’ve never done anything for money,’ Bellamy says
He was in intensive care last year after appendix rupture

Craig Bellamy said he rejected the chance to take charge of Burnley in the summer after deciding the Wales job is “the right place for me”. The 47-year-old was among the managers targeted by the Championship club, who appointed Nicky Hayen.

Bellamy is preparing to lead Wales in the Nations League, with next Thursday’s trip to Portugal the first of four matches across the extended international break. Bellamy spent two years on the staff at Burnley, working as an assistant to Vincent Kompany and taking caretaker charge after Kompany left for Bayern Munich. Burnley were granted permission to hold talks with him after a triggering release clause in his Wales contract.
