"No, no, no!"
Vincent Kompany is not a man to shirk challenges but there is absolutely no part of him that wishes he was part of the Manchester City team challenging for a historic Treble. Pep Guardiola wanted his captain to stay when he bowed out in 2019 after leading the club to a domestic clean sweep that included that spectacular strike against Leicester to help them beat Liverpool to the Premier League title, but Kompany knew what he needed from his career and that meant his first coaching job at Anderlecht.
The current Burnley manager was at a community leisure centre close to Turf Moor last week to accept an induction into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame, and admits he works so hard he does not leave much time to reflect on the stellar playing career that saw him granted a statue outside the Etihad Stadium for his mammoth contribution to City's rise to the top of English football. After 11 years of giving everything he had to the club, Kompany can now enjoy supporting them as a fan in a break from his day job.
