Pep Guardiola's confession about seeking advice from Vincent Kompany before Manchester City's 5-1 victory over Club Brugge highlights Kompany's growing managerial reputation. Kompany, who currently manages Bayern Munich, has surpassed City in the Champions League group stage. Guardiola believes Kompany's destiny is to become the next manager of Manchester City.
The Blues were brilliant in Belgium, with Phil Foden leading the way and Cole Palmer scoring his first Champions League goal was declared as one of their best performances in the competition by the manager and saw them take control of their group. As much as Guardiola likes to analyse opponents to work out how to break them down, he had some secret help in the form of the Anderlecht manager.
At the time, it added to the reputation of an emerging coach who had gone in at the deep end in 2019 to manage Anderlecht when he could have continued his playing career at the Etihad. Kompany's spell at Anderlecht was not a resounding success but he did enough to land the Burnley job, where he immediately overhauled a squad that had been relegated to the Championship and ensured a stunning return to the Premier League.
