Burnley first-team manager Vincent Kompany discusses joining the club, his decision to choose the Clarets and his visions & plans.

Vincent Kompany on joining Burnley Football Club as manager:

“I’m excited, happy, and proud. I’m willing to work hard and put all my energy into this.

“It’s something that you can’t describe, a new journey again, and you have to line everything up towards your ambition.

“It’s about where you want the club to go and where you want the team to go as well. I only see potential at Burnley, and that’s exciting for me.”

Vincent Kompany on his decision to choose Burnley Football Club:

“I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have gone back into playing… you should see me in the staff games, not good enough! It’s true though, I did have other offers.

“But when I laid out all of the offers on the table, some were perhaps more appealing in terms of name and what they would represent to the wider public, but I had a chance to look in great depth into everything that Burnley is.

“I looked at what Burnley wanted to achieve and I’m not saying it’s easy, but I saw a path which was different than that at other places.”

Vincent Kompany on his vision and plan:

“I see a plan and I see good people. I want to work with people that are already at Burnley, I’m allowed to bring good people with me as well, and together we don’t have to change everything.

“You pick the core of the things you really appreciate about the club so far – the culture, how honest people can be, how warm and friendly people are – and then you add the detail that you think will take these things to the next level.

“To make a long answer short, I’ve chosen this project because I know that after a difficult start will come an incredible future.”
