Kompany won Anderlecht job after six-hour meeting with Arnesen

The club director has revealed he hired the defender as the club's new player-coach after a single impressive meeting

Vincent Kompany was chosen as the new player-coach of Anderlecht after one six-hour meeting with the club, according to technical director Frank Arnesen.

It was announced last Sunday that the Manchester City captain would return to his childhood club in the close-season after 11 years at the Etihad Stadium.

Kompany ended his association with the club by going out on top, scoring a brilliant goal from distance in the penultimate Premier League game of the season against Leicester to aid in City's narrow one-point domestic triumph over challengers Liverpool.
