Burnley, Craig Bellamy and the Football Association of Wales
19 June 2026
Burnley have contacted the Football Association of Wales as they pursue Craig Bellamy for their vacant manager role. The Clarets want their former coach back after Scott Parker’s exit, but compensation would still need to be agreed.
Bellamy has two years left on his Wales deal and recently said he remained committed to the national job. Burnley’s renewed approach tests that stance, especially after the club identified him as a strong fit for their rebuild.
