Burnley Appoints Vincent Kompany As Their Manager After He Anderlecht
Burnley have confirmed the appointment of Vincent Kompany, a former Manchester City player, as their new manager.
The defender left Belgian club Anderlecht last season and has now decided to take over as manager of Burnley in the Championship following their relegation from the top flight in 2021-22, and will be tasked with achieving immediate promotion.
He takes over for Sean Dyche, who was fired last season after ten years at Turf Moor.
Burnley announced Kompany's appointment with a video that featured a timeline of their previous managers dating back to 1894, before revealing Kompany as the new manager at the end of the clip.
After signing a contract with the Clarets, Kompany stated that his priority would be to build a 'winning team' to ensure the club returns to the top flight and create a new future after becoming something of a 'yo-yo' club in recent years.
Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager,' he said. '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.
'I've been impressed by the Board's vision for the clu'b which aligns with my own and I look forward to playing my part as we enter an important season.'
Burnley chairman Alan Pace called Kompany a 'proven leader' after captaining Manchester City to four Premier League titles and said his work at Anderlecht had impressed many of Burnley's board members.
'We are absolutely delighted to welcome Vincent to Burnley Football Club,' he added. 'Vincent is a proven leader and I've been very impressed with his ideas for Burnley Football Club, his appetite to succeed and his focus on leading the Club back to the Premier League.
