Why Vincent Kompany is savouring every moment as Burnley boss – good and bad

Vincent Kompany insists he’s not once felt sorry for himself during Burnley’s challenging campaign in the top flight.

While Burnley got back to winning ways prior to the international break with a 2-1 victory over Brentford, they still sit 19th in the table and five points adrift of safety.

It’s been tough going for the Clarets, who have still only won four of their 29 games this season.

But Kompany, who is experiencing his first season in management in the Premier League, is savouring every moment and taking in all the experiences, both good and bad.

“There’s no complaint from my side,” he said.

“The fact of the matter is, in the last 24 months it’s been such a fantastic learning experience and there’s a lot of value in it.

“It’s the way you handle it. For myself, I’ve never put myself in a corner and started to feel sorry for myself. I go full on, I take it head on.
“Yes, it’s tough but I’m confident because of this period of time we will get better and we will become stronger out of it.
