Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany linked with major Premier League job alongside Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel

Vincent Kompany is subject to interest from Tottenham Hotspur as they reportedly prepare to part ways with current manager Antonio Conte.

Tottenham look set to sack Conte following last weekend’s 3-3 draw against Southampton, with Manchester City legend and current Burnley boss Vincent Kompany one of several managers linked with the North London club.

Kompany, who current City manager Pep Guardiola recently tipped to one day manage at the Etihad Stadium, is on course to lead Burnley back to the top-flight after an incredible first campaign at Turf Moor.

The Belgian replaced Sean Dyche in the summer, leaving RSC Anderlecht, where he had managed since leaving Manchester City in 2019.

Burnley are 13 points clear at the top of the Sky Bet Championship and have lost just two matches in the division all season.

The Clarets also reached the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup, but were thrashed by City in East Manchester last weekend.

Erling Haaland scored his sixth City hat-trick, as the Blues beat Burnley 6-0 to set up an FA Cup semi-final tie with Sheffield United on Saturday evening.

Kompany is one six names reportedly of interest to Tottenham, with Spurs set to sack current manager Antonio Conte amid continued backlash to comments made by the Italian following a draw with Southampton.

The Guardian report that Spurs hold an interest in Kompany, as well as managers Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Luis Enrique, Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amori.

Current Spurs coach Ryan Mason is linked with the interim job in North London, with the former player having managed against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final in 2021.

Guardiola was full of praise for Kompany prior to last weekend’s FA Cup tie, saying: “The job he has done so far in Burnley is really, really impressive.

“I admire the courage to come here, to make man-to-man, they had chances, and I had the same feeling after playing against his team, being there.

“One day, he (Vincent Kompany) will be sitting here (as a manager), talking about representing Manchester City. It’s going to happen. I’ll bet you whatever you want. I will win the bet.”

Kompany, who has a statue outside the Etihad Stadium, made 360 appearances and won 12 trophies including four Premier League titles during his 11-year spell at the club.

The 36 year-old joined from Hamburg in 2008 and played 62 matches under Pep Guardiola.
