Vincent Kompany backs Mikel Arteta to succeed Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager

Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany has been unveiled as Anderlecht’s player-boss after leaving the Etihad Stadium last season.

The Belgium international spent 11 seasons with the English Premier League giants, winning four league titles after leading them to their first top-flight prize in 44 years, securing two F.A Cups and four EFL Cups.

Kompany’s departure at City came as a suprise as there were suggestions he could be handed a new deal.

However, the Belgian centre-back will now look forward to going into management soon, and he has been tipped to return to lead the Etihad outfit one day.
