Watford have confirmed the appointment of Harry Kewell as the club's new Under-21 coach.
The former Leeds United, Liverpool and Galatasaray winger joins the Hornets' youth side as they prepare for their first season in the Under-21 Professional Development League 2 South.
Since retiring in 2014, Kewell has set up his own youth academy in his home country of Australia.
"Harry enjoyed an extremely successful career as a player, and he now has a proven track record when it comes to working with and nurturing gifted young footballers," Watford sporting director Luke Dowling told the club's website.
"His knowledge and experience will be of great benefit to the club's youth setup as a whole, and the talented players we have within our Under-21 group."
Kewell, who scored 17 goals in 56 caps for Australia over a 16-year period, has previously stated his desire to coach at Liverpool.
