Kompany's new deal keeps him at Turf Moor until 2028
Vincent Kompany has signed a new contract at Burnley having guided the Clarets to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The Belgian, only appointed last summer, has agreed fresh terms on a five year deal keeping him at Turf Moor until 2028. The 37-year-old has overseen a stunning transformation at Burnley and his work in Lancashire had seen him linked with Premier League heavyweights Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea who are both seeking new permanent managers.
But Kompany has seemingly ended that speculation by agreeing fresh terms as he prepares to lead the Clarets into the top flight. His management style has drawn comparisons with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who had Kompany as captain for a trophy-laden spell at the Etihad. The Burnley boss was shaped by the influential City chief and it even led Guardiola to say on several occasions that his former skipper would one day be managing the Blues.
Chairman Alan Pace added: “We are ecstatic Vincent has signed a new deal. He is the perfect fit for how we all see Burnley Football Club moving forward. An extraordinary leader, setting ever higher standards and driving our club to the levels we all want to achieve.” Burnley have wrapped up the Championship title and bring the curtain down on their season on Monday with a home game against Cardiff City. The Clarets will be presented with the second tier trophy after the game.Don't miss a thing from the club you love!
