Kompany had a historic run with Burnley in the Championship in 2022/23 as he helped the team storm the competition finishing first with 101 points. However, things went downhill for the manager this season with the Clarets finishing 19 in the Premier League standings. Burnley registered just 5 wins from their 38 fixtures and the manager will hope that he can do better at the Allianz Arena!
