Vincent Kompany, the former Burnley head coach, has left Turf Moor after the team was relegated to the Championship. In his place, Burnley has appointed Craig Bellamy as acting head coach. Bellamy, a former Wales international who earned 78 caps during his playing career, previously worked as an assistant manager under Kompany at Anderlecht.
Bellamy has taken on temporary coaching duties at Burnley and is actively searching for a permanent replacement to lead the team. Mike Jackson, who served as first team coach after Sean Dyche’s departure last season, has been promoted to assistant head coach under Bellamy.
Burnley has expressed confidence in Bellamy and Jackson due to their extensive experience and deep understanding of the club. While Frank Lampard and Scott Parker have been linked to the job, Steve Cooper from Nottingham Forest has ruled himself out of contention.
Burnley believes that Bellamy and Jackson are the right individuals to guide the team during this crucial period as they look to bounce back from relegation.
