Sometimes it pays to look beyond the obvious as Welsh footballl seems to be proving with both Craig Bellamy and Rhian Wilkinson. The former is still unbeaten after being named men’s national senior coach six games ago, while the latter is heading for the Euros next summer with the senior women.

Craig Bellamy hopes his success in leading Wales to Nations League promotion will convince his doubters he is not “the lunatic” some of them believe.

Bellamy remains unbeaten after a second victory in his Nations League campaign – a 1-0 victory over Montenegro at the Cardiff City Stadium.
