Former Man City captain Vincent Kompany appointed manager of Burnley

Burnley have confirmed the appointment of former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany as their new manager at Turf Moor.

Kompany left Belgian side Anderlecht last season and has now opted to take up a huge management job in the Championship. 

Recall that Burnley were relegated from the Premier League last season. Due to poor performance, Sean Dyche - who had been at Turf Moor for 10 years was axed in the last campaign, with interim coach Mike Jackson unable to prevent their drop down to the second tier.
