Vincent Kompany claims he rejected bigger clubs to become Burnley’s new manager because they can have “an incredible future”.
Kompany was considered by Borussia Moenchengladbach and says Burnley was the best option when he compared all his offers. The Manchester City legend has quit Anderlecht after three years to take over at Turf Moor and is excited by their potential, despite being relegated last season.
“I see only potential and that’s exciting for me,” he said. “It’s true I had other offers and when I laid down all the offers on the table, some of them were perhaps more appealing in terms of name and in terms of what they would represent to the wider public, but I had a chance to look into everything that Burnley was in great depth and what they wanted to achieve.
