Vincent Kompany: Former Manchester City captain in talks with Burnley over manager's job

The former captain of Manchester City is in talks with a new employer.

The Anderlecht captain is set to leave the club after finishing third in the league and runners-up in the Belgian Cup.

An announcement on his departure could come as early as Wednesday.

Despite the club being demoted to the Championship at the weekend, it is understood that the appeal of the role is still there.

A significant proportion of the $65m loan that the Clarets received from the American finance company has to be repaid.

The return to the north west of Manchester holds personal appeal for the wife of the player.

After 11 years at City, the former Belgium international defender took charge of Anderlecht in 2019.

It would be a coup for the chairman of the club to have someone of the stature of Kompany standing in the game.
