Per the BBC and other sources, Bellamy has beaten out several candidates to the job.
The former Premier League forward was hoping to get the permanent Burnley job this summer.
However, the job went to Scott Parker, with Bellamy then seeking head coaching opportunities elsewhere.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Georgia boss Willy Sagnol, and Oxford United boss Des Buckingham were in line for the Wales job.
