Outspoken former Newcastle, Liverpool and Wales striker Craig Bellamy has been added to the ITV team for this summer’s World Cup.
The 38-year-old Cardiff City coach, who shone as a pundit at Euro 2016, will travel around Russia as a co-commentator with station chiefs valuing his attitude and knowledge.
ITV have already signed up Gary Neville, Glenn Hoddle, Lee Dixon and Ian Wright for their coverage as well as Ryan Giggs, who beat Bellamy to the vacant Wales manager’s job earlier this season.
Bellamy has started his coaching career in charge of Cardiff City under-18s and is looking to break into senior management.
