After taking just two points from their first four games, the Belgian side have released the ex-City man from matchday coaching duties
Vincent Kompany will pass on coaching duties on matchdays after a dreadful start to his tenure as player-coach of Anderlecht.
Kompany ended an 11-year association with Manchester City in May after captaining the club to an unprecedented domestic treble in English football.
The 33-year-old Belgium centre-back opted for a return to his boyhood club as player-coach but an anticipated fairy tale has not got off to the anticipated start, with Anderlecht fourth bottom of the Belgian First Division with two points from four matches.
