Pep Guardiola, the man that dominated England and the rest of the world with his tactics . . always wanted Vincent Kompany as his assistant!

After his retirement, Pep asked Vincent to accompany him but the later declined because he wanted to chase his dream of coaching a top side.

Kompany’s style is similar to Pep’s.
He managed to bring Burnley from Championship to Premier League, with a 70% possession per match.
He plays dominant football, starting from the back, high pressing. Which Burnley couldn’t implement, as their players this year were horrific. They couldn’t even complete a pass at the back.

So, asking you all now.
What if he comes, and dominate every game with good football? Don’t forget he played lots of years under Pep and implemented all his ideas in his game.

Your favorite Xabi Alonso had a similar path. He emerged with Real Sociedad from Segunda B , and then the next year he relegated the team from Segunda.

So let’s all have faith and hope for an attractive football from Vincent if he comes eventually. 🙏🏼

  1. Coming as a Burnley fan to counter some of this one sided argument.

    Those players you are saying are “horrific” were players scouted and chosen by VK himself. We were one of the top spending teams in the global transfer window after our promotion from the Championship.

    I’m going to paste a post I made a few minutes ago in the PL subreddit for additional context;

    He gave us a season of Championship football which was the best season many Burnley fans have seen in a lifetime, followed by one of the worst. But you forgot his tactical naivety/stubbornness;

    * Refusing to play Muric until 3/4 of the way into the season.
    * Changing formation week in, week out and not really settling on a starting 11 until it was too late.
    * Playing players out of their natural positions and/or changing their position each week.
    * Not making tactical changes during games when we were getting slaughtered.
    * Poor man-management – side-lining half of the squad that won us a record points total in the championship, causing rifts in the changing room.

    **All of the above culminating in our lowest points total in a season in 120 years of football, and our fewest wins at Turf Moor in living memory**

    Fans were okay with that though, we believed in his “Project” and we’re a loyal fanbase – there was not one single chant of “Kompany out” at any home game I went to this season. I know you can’t say no to Bayern, but it stings that we gave him loyalty and backed him with £100M of signings that he scouted/chose, just for him to leave after relegating us.

    The VK brand is a fantastic PR machine if nothing else.

  3. People pretend to know what he is yet most of them never saw a Burnley match, neither did I, but Im not here parading, waving my pom poms for something I dont know, hes a big gamble, whether its gonna pay off or not is yet to be seen.

  4. Man kann sich alles schön reden. Man hat als Verantwortliche und Verein komplett versagt! Eine Notlösung als Bayern Trainer ist unwürdig und richtet großen, nachhaltigen Schaden an!
