Former Leeds star and Liverpool flop Harry Kewell is the latest player to give coaching a go, after the BBC have confirmed he is set to take charge of the U21 squad for a Premier League side.

After retiring from football in his home land of Australia as a Melbourne Heart player, Kewell had been running a successful football academy when he was approached for a role with newly promoted Premier League side Watford.

Although he has never coached at a professional team before, Watford's sporting director Luke Dowling believes his work at his academy in Australia has been enough evidence of his ability to coach youngsters:

He now has a proven track record when it comes to working with and nurturing young footballers.

His knowledge and experience will be of great benefit to the club.

Kewell earned a total of 56 caps for Australia and will be best remembered for his time with Leeds United where he was a vital player in David O'Leary's successful Leeds side at the turn of the millennium.

Perhaps we could see him move into first team club management in the near future.
