‘Nooooo’, ‘wouldn’t want “Kompany Out” trending’ – Man City fans react as Guardiola makes interesting prediction involving Burnley boss

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has backed Burnley boss Vincent Kompany to one day become manager at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League champions have drawn Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals with the Championship club managed by City legend Kompany.

And Guardiola reckons it is only a matter of time before his former charge is sitting in his spot in the managerial dugout at the Etihad.

“Vinny’s destiny to be manager of City is written in the stars,” Guardiola told the media, via the Daily Mail.

“It’s going to happen, I don’t know when but it will happen.

I’m impressed with their [Burnley’s] consistency, the amount of games, so difficult – it’s unbelievable. They are close to being promoted again, I’m delighted with his success.

“All of us are happy to see him [Kompany] back. It’s a big chance to reach Wembley and we’ll try to compete against Vinny and his team.”

Pressed on the matter further with Guardiola having just two years left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, the Spaniard was quizzed on whether Kompany could not only manage the club one day, but in fact succeed Guardiola himself in 2025.

The Spaniard responded: “I said that sooner or later he will be manager here. When, I don’t know. It’s my feeling, maybe I’m wrong.”

“His work ethic, knowledge, what he’s done, he’s doing really well, knows the club, the environment, what our people need. The destiny is there.”

These Guardiola’s comments shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.
