Vincent Kompany isn't considering managing Manchester City in the future because he believes the Blues should have the best manager in the world in their dugout and he doesn't meet that standard.
Despite having a contract that doesn't expire until 2025, Pep Guardiola recently declared that he believed Kompany would eventually manage City. Next week, when Burnley travels to Manchester for the FA Cup quarterfinal, Kompany will make his first appearance at the Etihad Stadium in the role of the opposing manager.
Kompany chose to concentrate on his own personal development in response to Guardiola's remarks, claiming that he is not yet ready to take over management of City in the near future.
"I think City should always have the best manager in the world, and that is not me," Kompany told BBC Sport.
"I'm a Championship manager, that's my level. We're not there yet, until it happens [managing in the Premier League], I'm a Championship manager. The focus is just on Burnley getting better and we will see. Maybe it only gets shown how far I am from being that guy, but eventually I just work as hard as I can to just get better every single time.
"They have the best manager in the world today and I hope he stays for another 10 years. If not, they should have the best manager in the world after Pep. From my side, I am way down the ranking so there isn't even a second in my thoughts when I am busy with that.
"My goal is I am looking forward to coming up against better managers - I live for that. My biggest strength is that if I fail, I get back up, I come back stronger - and that process is more important for me now."
