'Stop comparing me with Guardiola!' - Anderlecht manager Kompany frustrated with likening to his former Man City boss

The 34-year-old is tired of constantly answering questions about his former manager at Etihad Stadium

Anderlecht head coach Vincent Kompany has grown tired of constant comparisons between himself and Pep Guardiola, his former manager at Manchester City.

After 11 trophy-laden years at City, Kompany returned to his boyhood club as player-manager ahead of last season, but could only lead the Belgian giants to an eighth-place finish.

Kompany retired as a player prior to the current season to focus on his managerial duties, but has only managed to get Anderlecht to seventh place with 14 league matches gone.
