Vincent Kompany signs new five-year deal at Burnley after guiding Clarets back to the Premier League

Vincent Kompany has penned a new five-year contract at Burnley after guiding the the Clarets back into the Premier League. 

The Belgian, who signed with the club in 2022, masterminded their dominant season in the Championship, having lost only three games this season to rack up a whopping 98 points. 

Impressively, they secured promotion against Middlesbrough last month even with seven games still to play, having scored the most goals (84) and conceded the least (35) to book their promotion back to the top-flight after a year’s absence. 

And despite rumours that several clubs, including Tottenham, could make a swoop for the 37-year-old, Kompany has now resigned with Burnley until at least 2028. 

A statement on the club’s website today read: ‘Burnley Football Club is delighted to announce that manager Vincent Kompany has signed a new contract to extend his commitment with the club.’

 Kompany said: ‘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.’
