Craig Bellamy has reaffirmed his dedication to Wales, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from linking the national team boss to the vacant Celtic managerial position. Despite Bellamy insisting he’s staying put for now, bookies still list him as a strong contender for the Celtic role after Brendan Rodgers’ exit.
Bellamy, whose contract with Wales runs until Euro 2028, has shared that he’s had offers but feels it’s not the right moment to move on from his current position. He expressed gratitude towards Wales for his current role, stating, “I’m ambitious and want to earn loads, but now’s not the time.”
Meanwhile, Robbie Keane has emerged as the favourite for the Celtic job. The ex-Celtic striker is said to have held productive discussions with influential figures at the club, despite jetting off to South Korea for a Liverpool Legends match. His trip hasn’t affected his frontrunner status, as betting odds still have him leading the pack.
Here’s the latest on who could potentially steer Celtic next:
– Robbie Keane – Favourite
– Martin O’Neill – Strong contender
– Craig Bellamy – Still in the mix
– Roberto Martinez and others are also in the running
As the race heats up, fans eagerly await the announcement of the new Celtic manager. Who do you think will land the job? Let’s hear your thoughts!
