"Craig Bellamy insists he remains committed to the Wales job despite reports linking him to a managerial move to Celtic. Brendan Rodgers' resignation last month opened up a vacancy at one of British football's biggest clubs, with Bellamy reportedly on a list of potential replacements. The Welshman spent half of the 2004-05 season on loan at the club, scoring nine goals and lifting a Scottish Cup under current interim boss Martin O'Neill, but Bellamy says his focus is on Wales' upcoming World Cup qualifiers."
""It's not on my radar - and it won't be on my radar," Bellamy said of the Celtic job. "I can understand the links because I played there, [now] I'm coaching, so I definitely understand the links," the 46-year-old added. "But to me, I love what I'm doing at this present moment. I have to be honest, I'm completely focused on what's to come.""
Craig Bellamy remains committed to the Wales managerial role and is not pursuing the Celtic vacancy. Bellamy previously spent half of the 2004-05 season on loan at Celtic, scored nine goals and won a Scottish Cup under Martin O'Neill. Brendan Rodgers' resignation created the Celtic opening and Bellamy was linked as a potential replacement, but current priorities lie with Wales. Bellamy took charge in July 2024 and has six wins, four draws and four losses from 14 matches. Wales sit third in their World Cup qualifying group, four points behind Belgium, and face Liechtenstein and North Macedonia later this month with a likely play-off in March.
