Craig Bellamy has spoken out after an investigation by Cardiff City into alleged bullying was concluded.
The former Celtic striker stood accused of bullying, intimidation and verbal abuse, leading to an official inquiry by the English Championship club.
That report was concluded yesterday, with the Welsh side admitting to "a number of significant concerns relating to an unacceptable coaching environment".
Bellamy was not named in the report, and left the club in January while the investigation took place.
The Anderlecht Under-21s boss said: "The allegations of bullying and xenophobic behaviour made against me were difficult for me to come to terms with as I deplore bullying and any form of discrimination.
"I am not the subject of any disciplinary proceedings which, of course, comes as an immense relief to me.
"Whilst I have always categorically denied and disputed the allegations against me, the whole process was still very difficult to deal with and has resulted in a long period of self-reflection.
"My job is to develop promising young players and to build a winning team, ensuring that the young players reach the very pinnacle of their abilities.
"I will strive for continuous personal improvement and development to ensure I become the best coach that I can be.
"Finally, I would like to thank my family and all the players and their families that have supported me and cooperated with the full and lengthy investigation.
"I would like to thank Cardiff City and particularly the loyal supporters who have been unwavering in their support and also the players, their families and all the staff and owners at Anderlecht FC, who have shown faith in me and who have supported me during the last few months.
"The support that I received was the only reason that I decided to carry on in football and as a coach. My focus now is to continue in the job and the sport that I love."
