Burnley issues official statement as Vincent Kompany departs for Bayern Munich

Burnley has issued an official statement on Vincent Kompany’s departure to become the manager at Bayern Munich:

We can confirm that Burnley Football Club has come to an agreement that will allow Vincent Kompany to leave Turf Moor.

Whilst we were initially confident in retaining our manager, the changing dynamics of the situation made this impossible.

We understand the allure and prestige of a club like Bayern Munich and respect Vincent’s ambition to explore new opportunities.

We wish only the best for Vincent and would like to put on record our appreciation for his dedication every single day he was a part of this football club. Our priority remains the stability and success of Burnley FC, and we will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure that our ambition is realised – namely our return to the Premier League.

We have started the search for a new manager and will make an announcement in due course.

The time they are a changin’ at Bayern Munich. Vincent Kompany looks like he is taking over in Bavaria, while the club’s former favorite son — Hansi Flick — is heading to FC Barcelona. Which one will make out better with their new club? We’ll find out, but in the meantime, there could also be some Bayern players who are on Flick’s transfer radar, too. basically, we’ve got a lot to talk about with all of that, plus some appreciation for Bayer Leverkusen’s incredible season.
