Ex-Liverpool and Wales striker Craig Bellamy will take charge of Cardiff City under-18s next season as he begins his path to becoming a football manager.
Bellamy rejoined his hometown club earlier this year with a general role overseeing youth player development and has impressed the club enough to be given his own team for the first time.
The under-18s is also where Bellamy's former team-mate Steven Gerrard is learning his trade at Liverpool.
Bellamy, 37, enjoyed a colourful career with Norwich, Coventry, Newcastle, Celtic, Blackburn, Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester City before retiring at Cardiff in 2014.
