Burnley head coach Vincent Kompany signs new five-year deal

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has signed a new contract that will keep him at Turf Moor until at least 2028, the Premier League-bound club announced on Sunday.

Kompany, who enjoyed a storied playing career at Manchester City, had been shortlisted for the vacant Chelsea job last month after leading Burnely to the Championship title in his first season in charge.

"Burnley and Turf Moor felt right pretty much from the start -- so it also feels right to sign for the next five years," Kompany said in a statement.
