Vincent Kompany described Craig Bellamy as "misunderstood" ahead of his expected appointment to Burnley's coaching staff.
The pair worked together at Anderlecht and are now set to be re-united at Turf Moor, with Kompany all-but confirming as much in his first Burnley press conference on Friday. "He’s someone I have huge respect for," said the Belgian when asked about Bellamy.
"He’s incredibly gifted and he’s a typical misunderstood guy who gives so much, if I can have him with me, I will. Just give me three or four days to make sure."
