‘Know for a fact…’: James Collins thinks ex-Upton Park ace is a ‘future West Ham manager’

Former West Ham United and Wales defender James Collins stated on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast that current Wales head coach Craig Bellamy could manage West Ham in the future. While current manager Nuno Espirito Santo has secured his position following five wins in six Championship matches, Collins noted Bellamy's affection for his former club and praised his tactical intelligence.

Collins explained that Bellamy remains committed to the Wales national team for now, having previously declined interest from Burnley after Scott Parker's departure. However, Collins expects Bellamy to return to club management eventually, describing the former forward as an exciting coach suited for a future role at West Ham.
