Difficult to miss the phenomenon. In England, a real Kompany mania is underway. She has already made good progress. And finding the cause is childishly simple: Burnley is first in the championship and crushes everything in its path. 37 Championship games, 24 wins, 11 draws for 2 small defeats, better attack, better defense… Difficult to do better.
Results that push the second to 13 points and the third to 19 points. While there are only nine games left and the first two are guaranteed to go up, we can write it without too much risk: Vincent Kompany will play the Premier League next year. With or without Burnley.
‘My children will have a difficult decision that day’: Vincent Kompany moved by the idea of returning to Manchester City in the FA Cup
Because the results of the former captain of the Red Devils amaze and arouse envy. According to TalkSport, Tottenham are very interested in the future of Vince The Prince.
Impossible? Not so much if we look at Antonio Conte’s contract with Spurs. “We will decide at the end of the season with the club”explained the boiling coach for Amazon Prime following the elimination in the Champions League once morest Milan. “Everyone knows the situation, I’m out of contract in June. After all, they might fire me even before the end of the season. Maybe the expectations were higher and they might be disappointed. This what matters for a coach is to try to work and raise the level. This year we are struggling to raise the level.”
Kompany: “A cycle of three or four seasons”
Not the most optimistic speech. In addition, it is rumored in the spans of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that the death of his friend Vialli made him think a lot regarding the meaning that his life should take.
It’s not the first time that Kompany has been announced at a club other than Burnley. Pep Guardiola himself had sent him to Manchester City. “It’s his destiny”, explained the Catalan. To which the Brussels resident soberly replied that the best coach in the world should practice at Manchester City. And that he was still far from having the level to coach a club of this magnitude.

So, what future for Vincent Kompany? Many laughed when he explained that Burnley was a long-term project. For many, his Championship jaunt looked like a rebound to better jump to the Premier League. Almost seven months later, no one laughs anymore. And certainly not the former central defender.
Snubbed by Anderlecht, this is a great revenge. Even if he refuses to use this term to explain his experience at the RSCA. After the victory once morest Hull City, he spoke regarding his ambitions. “In this championship, it’s difficult to maintain consistency throughout the season”explained the 36-year-old man. “For us it was very important to set goals. And we are following them at the moment.” For Kompany, a departure is not on the agenda. “The staff think more of a cycle. Our objective is to stay for a period of three or four years together. With a simple goal: to continue to grow the club.”
With nine more days to go, Burnley and Kompany must finish the job in the Championship. As icing on the cake, his players can still hope to win the FA Cup. But City will have to be taken out at the Etihad this Saturday. A homecoming that promises to be moving for the former number 4 of Skyblues.
