Former Manchester City captain, Vincent Kompany has been appointed as Burnley’s head coach.

“Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager,” said Kompany. “I’m excited by the challenge ahead.”

Burnley’s six-year stay at the first tier of English football, Premier League, came to an end last season.

The Claret’s went down on the final day of the Premier League, after losing to Newcastle.
