Man City legend Vincent Kompany opens up on how Pep Guardiola helped him 'write his own story'
31.03.2023 - 18:49 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City legend and current Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has admitted that Pep Guardiola is the boss that has influenced his footballing philosophy the most.
Kompany spent three of his 11 years at City being coached by Guardiola during which time he won two Premier Leagues, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the Community Shield. Earlier this month, the Belgian returned to the Etihad Stadium for the first time as a manager as his Championship leaders faced the Blues in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
Unfortunately for Kompany, the return was not a pleasant one on the pitch as Guardiola's side ran away with the tie, winning comfortably 6-0. Ahead of their fixture with Sunderland on Friday night, the 36-year-old told Alastair Campbell that City's Catalan boss has had the biggest impact on his coaching career to date.

He explained in the Sky Sports interview: "[I learnt the most from] Pep for sure. He found the language for football that I understood and then I could, from there, start writing my own story.
"He made football closer to being objective than it had ever been to me before. If you have the right spaces and you control the right spaces, if you make the right angles, you attack the right areas, that you have a bigger chance of 1) hurting the opponent and 2) defusing the strengths of your opponent.
"So that almost chess game approach suited my type of thinking but I never had that before. I had amazing coaches and managers before that who taught me a lot of things but not the strategic side of the game."
Before City faced Burnley in the cup, Guardiola told the media that he had a 'feeling' that Kompany would one day become the Blues' manager
