We can confirm that Burnley FC 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 Vincentโs 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.
After discussions with the board following Vincent Kompanyโs red card against Chelsea on Saturday, a decision has been made:
While Vince serves his mandatory one-match ban, I will be taking the touchline for my 1st ever Premier League match as Burnleyโs Caretaker Manager.

Quite possibly the proudest Iโve been of a performance this entire season.
The passion, the energy, the life, the fight.
All while down to 10 men.
(quite questionably to say the least)
That is Burnley.
That is who we are.
Up The Clarets!
