Exclusive: Craig Bellamy open to West Ham job due to timing and release clause not an issue

Wales manager Craig Bellamy is reportedly open to taking over as West Ham United manager if Nuno Espirito Santo is dismissed. Pressure is mounting on Nuno following consecutive home defeats in the Championship against Southampton and West Brom, with West Ham owner Daniel Kretinsky expected to review the managerial position ahead of the November international break.

The timing is considered favorable as Wales will conclude their Nations League campaign in November, leaving a four-month gap before their next fixtures. Additionally, Bellamy holds a reported £700,000 release clause, which the West Ham hierarchy is reportedly willing to pay to secure his services.
