Bellamy named acting manager at Burnley
Craig Bellamy has been named as acting head coach at Burnley after Vincent Kompany’s shock move to Bayern Munich.
The Belgian, who took over the Clarets in June 2022, could not keep Burnley in the Premier League, being relegated after a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham in its penultimate match of the season.
It was confirmed that Kompany was replacing Thomas Tuchel as Bayern manager on a three-year deal.
Burnley has announced that Bellamy will take on the role of acting manager while they look for a permanent manager, with Mike Jackson as his assistant coach.
The Welshman was rumoured to be joining Kompany in Bavaria but is in the running to become the new Burnley manager, with Frank Lampard and Scott Parker also reportedly linked to the job.
