Bellamy was assistant to Vincent Kompany at Burnley between 2022 and 2024 and had a brief spell as caretaker boss.<\/p>\n

The Lancashire club approached the FAW with a view to appointing Bellamy as successor to Scott Parker, who was sacked in April.<\/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 Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester City and West Ham forward Bellamy, who was appointed Wales boss in 2024, has a contract that runs until 2028.<\/p>\n

He has previously spoken of his ambition to lead Wales at Euro 2028,<\/a> being held in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland.<\/p>\n

“The players will know that if he’d had the chance he would have left and gone to Burnley,” Roberts told S4C’s Newyddion.<\/a><\/p>\n

“That after saying this was the best job in the world and how much he was looking forward to leading Wales into the next Euros.<\/p>\n

“The next few days are going to be quite interesting, I would imagine.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bellamy was assistant to Vincent Kompany at Burnley between 2022 and 2024 and had a brief spell as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-519675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
