Vincent Kompany’s career as a coach seems to have a bright future. A novice at Anderlecht, the former Belgian defender was then inducted on the bench of Burnley, just relegated to the Championship, in June 2022. A few months later and thanks to the attractive game imposed by his coach, the Clarets, undefeated between November and April, won the championship, synonymous with a return in extremis to the Premier League. This Friday Vincent Kompany will make his debut in the first division and this day already promises to be special for him since he will cross swords with Manchester City, club with which he has 360 appearances between 2008 and 2019.
This shock against the Citizens also offers Vincent Kompany the opportunity to find Pep Guardiola, considered his mentor. On the sidelines of the reunion against the Skyblues, the Belgian technician refused to be compared to his Spanish counterpart, considering that he himself had his own recipe for performing at the highest level in England. “I think the dumbest thing I can do in this interview is to even remotely compare myself to Pep Guardiola. I’m going my own way, but one thing is for sure… It involves a lot of grafting and hard work. I believe in this recipe”explained the Belgian during an interview with the DailyMail.
