Vincent Kompany’s dissenting opinion on Erik ten Hag amid Man Utd’s potential sacking consideration
Vincent Kompany, the current manager of Burnley, has expressed strong admiration for Erik ten Hag’s coaching abilities amid the intense scrutiny the latter is facing at Manchester United. Kompany, a former Manchester City icon, considers Ten Hag to be one of the world’s top managers and has praised his successful stint at Ajax.
Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford is reportedly in jeopardy due to the team’s failure to secure Champions League football, but Kompany stands by his high regard for Ten Hag’s coaching prowess. Kompany reminisced about Ajax’s impressive performance under Ten Hag, particularly during their journey to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.
He praised the team’s playing style and credited Ten Hag for his coaching philosophy, describing him as a “reference coach” for other managers. Despite not having personal interactions with Ten Hag, Kompany has closely followed his trajectory and views him as an influential figure in the coaching world.
On the other hand, Kompany remains focused on Burnley’s current position in the league, emphasizing the team’s determination to fight for their standings. He believes that despite their challenges, all they need is one opportunity to make a difference and is committed to pushing the team to their best possible level.
