Vincent Kompany announced as Burnley's new manager after relegation from Premier League

Vincent Kompany has been unveiled as the new Burnley manager following their relegation to the Championship.

The former Manchester City defender takes up the post with the club still reeling from their Premier League exit on the final day of last season.

The 36-year-old's previous managerial role saw him spend three years at Anderlecht in his native Belgium, with one year as player-manager and the last two spent solely as boss after retiring from playing. He becomes the permanent replacement for Sean Dyche, who left Turf Moor in April after almost a decade in charge.
