Tottenham hero explains the reason why Vincent Kompany will reject Spurs manager job

Dimitar Berbatov does not believe that Vincent Kompany will become Tottenham's new head coach this summer. Currently on the lookout for a new boss following Antonio Conte's Spurs exit at the end of March, the Belgian is one of a number of managers to have been linked with the vacant hotseat.

Appointed as player-manager of Anderlecht back in 2019 after calling time on his Man City career, the 37-year-old made the move to Burnley last June and helped the Clarets return to the Premier League at the first time of asking with seven games to spare. Kompany has completely transformed Burnley in his short time at Turf Moor, with the team now playing attractive football and the team having a rather youthful look about it after some shrewd purchases in the transfer market.

Tipped for big things in his managerial career, it is no surprise to see the former centre-back mentioned with the Tottenham job given what he has achieved in less than a year in Lancashire. Despite talk of Kompany taking on the Spurs job, Berbatov believes that the Man City legend will instead decide to remain with his current club for the time being before taking on a few other jobs in the future on his way to become manager at the Etihad Stadium.
