Vincent Kompany
BURNLEY have finally confirmed Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany as their new manager.
The 36-year-old has been heavily linked with the vacant hotseat at Turf Moor after leaving his post at Anderlecht.
Four-time Premier League winner Kompany will now be tasked with securing an instant return to the top-flight following the Clarets’ relegation to the Championship.
The Belgian icon has returned to England after departing the Etihad for Anderlecht in 2019.
After taking the reigns at Anderlecht in 2020, Kompany won 42 out of his 92 matches in charge, losing on just 18 occasions.

He guided the club to third spot in the 2021-22 season to secure European football, while his side also finished as runners-up in the Belgian Cup final.
And the ex-defender has expressed his excitement at getting stuck into his new job in Lancashire.
He told the club’s website: “Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager.
“I’m excited by the challenge ahead.
“I’m looking forward to getting to work with the players and creating a positive, winning team for our fans when we return to Turf Moor.
