Belgian Vincent Kompany has rejected an offer from his former club Manchester City, England's champion, in the past two seasons to take over as assistant coach Josep Guardiola, Belgian reports said Friday.
The former City captain has a contract with a player-coach with Anderlecht until 2022, after he left England last season after spending 11 years at Etihad Stadium.
Reports indicated that the 34-year-old Kompany did not hide his desire to take over as City manager in the future, but he now wants to stay with Anderlecht.
Anderlecht finished eighth in the league standings, the worst for him after World War II, when the League decided to end the season due to Covid-19 before the playoffs of playoff started.
Guardiola is looking for an aide after his native Miguel Artita leaves to take over Arsenal last December, succeeding Unai Emery.
The company is considered one of the most important players in the history of City after he achieved the league title four times, twice the cup and the League Cup title on four occasions.
Anderlecht has appointed Vandhout as its successor, Marc Cook, due to the financial problems the club faces due to the aftermath of the emerging Corona virus.
