Vincent Kompany confirms he wants to add 'misunderstood' ex-Newcastle United star to Burnley staff

Vincent Kompany accepts he has taken charge at Burnley at a "delicate and dangerous" time but is determined to turn the relegated Lancashire club around.

The new Clarets manager has also confirmed he hopes to add ex-Newcastle forward Craig Bellamy, his former Manchester City team-mate who had a spell with rivals Blackburn, to his backroom staff at Turf Moor.

Kompany was named as Sean Dyche's permanent successor last week. The task ahead is daunting one with Burnley facing financial difficulties and having lost some key players since dropping out of the Premier League at the end of last season.
