Ex-Leeds, Liverpool winger Harry Kewell named Crawley Town boss

Former Australia, Leeds and Liverpool winger Harry Kewell has been appointed head coach of League Two side Crawley Town.

Kewell was in charge of the Watford under-23 team from June 2015 before leaving Vicarage Road last month.

The 38-year-old is currently working on his UEFA Pro Licence coaching qualification and will be assisted at Crawley by former Northern Ireland striker Warren Feeney.

"During his interview Harry showed us great passion -- that's needed to make this team move onwards,'' Crawley director of football Selim Gaygusuz told the club's official website.

Sydney-born Kewell played in two Champions League finals for Liverpool, winning the trophy in 2005, and also at two World Cups for Australia, for whom he won 56 caps.
