Former Newcastle United forward Craig Bellamy has been appointed assistant manager at Championship club Burnley. Bellamy has joined a five-strong team in Vincent Kompany’s backroom staff as they aim to achieve an immediate return to the Premier League.
The former Wales international worked with Kompany at Anderlecht, occupying roles as under-21 coach, and later assistant manager, but stepped down from his role in September 2021 due to mental health issues.
After 10 months away from professional football, Bellamy returns to team up with his former Manchester City teammate, who he played with for two seasons between 2008 and 2010.
