Kompany Returns To England As Burnley's Coach

Burnley confirms the appointment of former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany as their new manager at Turf Moor.

Kompany left Belgian side Anderlecht last season and has now opted to take up a huge management job in the Championship after Burnley's relegation from the top flight in 2021-22, and will be tasked with immediate promotion.

He replaces Sean Dyche - who had been at Turf Moor for 10 days before he was axed in the last campaign, with interim coach Mike Jackson unable to prevent their drop down to the second tier.

We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Vincent Kompany as first-team manager.

Welcome to Burnley, @vincentkompany! ?#WelcomeKompany | #UTC

During Kompany's playing days in England -- He won four Premier League titles, 3 FA Cups, 4 Carabao Cup and 2 Community Shield.

Aside his accolades, he is also known for his defensive prowess, something Burnley would need if they want to return to Premier League next season.
