Craig Bellamy agrees to extend stay as Melbourne coach: report
STORM

Storm coach Craig Bellamy is set to continue coaching in 2022, with the premiership-winning Melbourne coach reported to be extending his time with the club.
It is said that the Storm are yet to organise a plan for what Bellamy does after 2022.
The coach, however, has long wanted to relocate to Queensland to be close to his daughter.
He had also been tossed up as a potential coach for one of the future Brisbane teams.
Brisbane Bombers bid lead Nick Livermore told foxsports.com.au earlier this year that Bellamy and Wayne Bennett were their ideal candidates should they win the NRL’s expansion tender.
“I come back to culture, you need men who act with integrity and treat people with respect,” Livermore said.
“You want great players but if you can get great people around them, then that culture will continually perform.
“Look at the Storm with how few off-field discretions they have had over the last 20 years compared to other clubs – the culture is strong with guys like Craig Bellamy and (football manager) Frank Ponissi.
“They don’t put up with garbage. It’s about having someone who can lead a good culture.”

Bellamy was off-contact this year, but now looks ready to coach Melbourne for a further season, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
The 61-year-old had been linked with a move to the Broncos as a coaching director after his contract with the Storm expired.
But this decision puts the thought of Bellamy exiting to work with an NRL rival on the backburner.The 61-year-old had been linked with a move to the Broncos as a coaching director after his contract with the Storm expired.
