Vincent Kompany has spoken about the decision to take Craig Bellamy with him to Anderlecht.
Kompany shocked many when he declared his departure from Manchester City at the end of last season. The veteran central defender took up a player-manager role with the Belgian giants.
Now Kompany has convinced Bellamy to join him as the club's under-21s coach.
"We're from the same family of football in terms of how we think about development and how we think about the game," said Kompany about Bellamy's appointment to reporters.
"In reality, he's one of the guys with the biggest heart I've ever known in football so I wanted him absolutely to be part of my journey.
"For the young players what an incredible person to have around the place."
