Burnley boss Kompany welcomes Bellamy as new assistant manager

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has named Craig Bellamy as his assistant manager.

Former Manchester City star Bellamy, who also had spells with Liverpool and Newcastle, was previously on Kompany's backroom staff at Belgian club Anderlecht.

Kompany has also brought in Jelle Ten Rouwelaar as goalkeeping coach, Bram Geers and Floribert Ngalula as first-team coaches and Richard Bredice as analyst and set-piece coach at Turf Moor.

Kompany told the club's website: "I am delighted Craig, Jelle, Bram, Floribert and Richard have all agreed to join and play an integral role in helping to develop the players and build a successful team at Burnley Football Club.

"I have worked with all five men before and I know the qualities and experience they will bring to the club.

"We already have an excellent group of staff at the club and collectively we are excited to work together as we prepare for the new season."
