Wales manager Craig Bellamy’s proposed move<\/a> to take charge at Championship side Burnley has fallen through.<\/p>\n

The Clarets approached the Football Association of Wales with a view to appointing Bellamy as Scott Parker’s successor.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old had talks with the Lancashire club but the move now looks to have collapsed.<\/p>\n

The breakdown is understood to not be related to compensation for the FAW, while negotiations for Bellamy’s backroom staff to join him at Turf Moor were thought to be a point of contention.<\/p>\n

Former Wolves head coach Rob Edwards – who was a contender to replace Bellamy with Wales – is in contention for the job at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

He had been in the frame after leaving Molineux earlier this month and remains an option for the Clarets. <\/p>\n

Bellamy was a coach under Vincent Kompany at Turf Moor between 2022 and 2024 and had a brief spell in caretaker charge.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport revealed on 30 April that Bellamy was a leading contender to replace Parker after his sacking.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester City, Liverpool and West Ham forward was appointed Wales boss in 2024.<\/p>\n

Wales failed to reach the 2026 World Cup, losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina during a penalty shoot-out defeat in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

Bellamy’s contract sees him through until 2028, including the European Championships being held across England, Scotland, Wales and Republic of Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales manager Craig Bellamy’s proposed move to take charge at Championship side Burnley has fallen through.
