Bellamy joins Anderlecht as Under-21 coach

Craig Bellamy has signed a three-year deal to become Under-21 coach of Anderlecht.

The move reunites Bellamy with his former Manchester City team-mate Vincent Kompany, who left the Etihad Stadium last month to become player-manager at the Belgian club.

"We are very happy with Craig's arrival at RSC Anderlecht," youth director Jean Kindermans told the club's official website.

"He has a lot of experience and will be a great mentor for our youth players mentally speaking, but also in terms of football skills.

"As coach of the Under-21 team, his task will be to prepare our young talents for the first team."
