Former Wales captain Craig Bellamy was appointed head coach in July 2024

It will take some time for Craig Bellamy and his Wales players to get over the agony of missing out on World Cup qualification.

Once the pain of their penalty shootout defeat in Tuesday's play-off semi-final at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina is a little less raw, they have some big issues to address.

One of them is Bellamy's own future. This is his first senior managerial role and the former Liverpool and Manchester City forward has already caught the eye of club sides, but it remains to be seen how his failure to qualify for this summer's World Cup will affect his stock.

The Wales squad and its lack of strength in depth is also under scrutiny, having been exposed during the campaign and on Tuesday in particular.
