Bellamy 'perfect ' for Celtic, but is timing wrong?

"Former Celtic midfielder Joe Ledley believes fellow Welshman Craig Bellamy is "a perfect fit" to be Parkhead manager, who would be "very interested" in doing so either later this season or in future. Ledley is still close with the Wales manager and believes his "aggressive, front-foot" style with the national team would transfer well to Celtic and that the only thing stopping the move could be timing."

""I like Craig Bellamy," Ledley told BBC Scotland when asked who he thought Celtic should turn to for a permanent successor to Rodgers. "I've seen a lot of what he's been doing here in Wales as manager of the national team, the way he's fascinated with football. He's obviously got a link with Celtic as well with his days playing there for a short period.""

"Wales face World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein away (Saturday) and at home to North Macedonia (next Tuesday) to decide whether they can feature at next year's World Cup via automatic qualification have to settle for the play-offs. His team are currently third in Group J behind Belgium and North Macedonia, but with a game in hand over the latter while sitting a point behind with two games to play."

Craig Bellamy is presented as an ideal managerial candidate for Celtic because of an aggressive, front-foot, attack-minded, high-pressing style that aligns with the club's preferences. The primary barrier to an immediate appointment is timing, since Bellamy is focused on Wales' World Cup qualification campaign. Celtic appointed Martin O'Neill as interim manager following Brendan Rodgers' resignation. Wales must play Liechtenstein away and North Macedonia at home to secure automatic qualification or face play-offs. Wales currently sit third in Group J behind Belgium and North Macedonia, with a game in hand and one point adrift, with two matches remaining.
