Burnley are set to confirm the appointment of Vincent Kompany early this week and he could even be unveiled on Monday, according to reports in his native Belgium.
The Clarets are searching for a new manager after dispensing with long-serving Sean Dyche towards the end of last season. Caretaker Mike Jackson took over but could not steer Burnley to safety in the Premier League.
Now, Manchester City legend Kompany is primed for the Turf Moor hot seat. Belgian publication HLN claims the appointment could even be formally announced as early as Monday. There is, however, a delay as Kompany applies for a work permit, with Brexit affecting the process.
