Burnley

According to BBC Sport, FAW chief David Adams defends Craig Bellamy's summer talks with Burnley, saying it was the right move for him to explore club-management opportunities while his Wales duties continue; Bellamy had discussions about succeeding Scott Parker at Burnley but remained in his Wales role as his contract runs to Euro 2028. Adams also highlighted succession planning, the FAW's preference for Wales-connected managers, and noted a 2029 women's Champions League final at the Principality Stadium as a game-changer for Wales football, with notable growth in attendance from 1,000 at Rodney Parade to 15,000 at Cardiff City Stadium, as Wales women eye a World Cup bid and ongoing Euro 2025/2027 qualification matches.
