Wales manager Craig Bellamy’s proposed move to take charge at Championship side Burnley has fallen through.
The Clarets approached the Football Association of Wales with a view to appointing Bellamy as Scott Parker’s successor.
The 46-year-old had talks with the Lancashire club but the move now looks to have collapsed.
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.
Former Wolves head coach Rob Edwards – who was a contender to replace Bellamy with Wales – is in contention for the job at Turf Moor.
He had been in the frame after leaving Molineux earlier this month and remains an option for the Clarets.
Bellamy was a coach under Vincent Kompany at Turf Moor between 2022 and 2024 and had a brief spell in caretaker charge.
BBC Sport revealed on 30 April that Bellamy was a leading contender to replace Parker after his sacking.
The former Manchester City, Liverpool and West Ham forward was appointed Wales boss in 2024.
Wales failed to reach the 2026 World Cup, losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina during a penalty shoot-out defeat in Cardiff.
Bellamy’s contract sees him through until 2028, including the European Championships being held across England, Scotland, Wales and Republic of Ireland.
