"Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager," Kompany said, adding that he is "excited" about the new challenge.

"I'm looking forward to getting to work with the players and creating a positive, winning team for our fans when we return to Turf Moor," he added.
