New Burnley deal for Vinny
Won promotion with the Clarets in his first season as manager, then linked with the vacancies at both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, there were concerns among Burnley fans as to whether we would see him in the home technical area at Burnley after tomorrow’s game.
Those concerns have been ended, not just in some statement, but with the news that he’s signed a new contract with us until the end of the 2027/28 season at least.
Kompany said, having signed the deal: “Burnley and Turf Moor felt right pretty much from the start, so it also feels right to sign for the next five years. Together with the fans we have made Turf Moor a fortress again and continue to look forward to the future and the job of making Burnley better with every step.
Chairman Alan Pace said: “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.”
Kompany arrived from Anderlecht on 14th June last year and immediately set about strengthening the squad for the forthcoming 2022/23 season. He himself has admitted that he never expected it to go as well as it has and I’m sure that’s the view of every supporter too.
It’s brilliant news, to know that not only are we not searching for another new manager but that the current manager has committed to the club long term. All we need now is for Pep to stay at Manchester City for another five years at least.
For now, we’ve got super Vincent Kompany until 2028.
