OFFICIAL: Craig Bellamy is the new manager of the Wales national team. He was previously coaching with Vincent Kompany at Burnley, but will now take a full managerial job.
The 44-year-old has emerged as the Football Association of Wales (FAW's) first choice to replace Rob Page, who was sacked last month.
Bellamy succeeds Rob Page - who was sacked last month - after turning down the opportunity to stay at Burnley under new manager Scott Parker.
Senior FAW (Football Association of Wales) figures including chief executive Noel Mooney and technical director David Adams had been at the heart of the search for Wales' new manager.
Bellamy, 44, is a former Wales captain who played 78 times for his country between 1998 and 2013.
