Former Liverpool forward Craig Bellamy is back in English football after being appointed as Burnley's new assistant manager.
The Clarets are looking to plot an immediate Premier League return after they were relegated last season under interim boss Mike Jackson, following the sacking of Sean Dyche. With Vincent Kompany appointed as the Turf Moor club's new manager, the ex-Manchester City stalwart has announced his five-man backroom staff and that includes 42-year-old Bellamy as his assistant.
The ex-Welsh international played alongside Kompany at City for two seasons under Mark Hughes, making 51 appearances and scoring 15 goals, in-between two spells at Liverpool, wining the League Cup with the Reds in 2012. But the pair also worked alongside each other as a duo at Belgian club Anderlecht before Bellamy left in September 2021 due to mental health issues.
