Vincent Kompany takes over at Burnley with the job vacant for the last couple of months
Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is back in England with the Burnley manager's job.
Kompany has been manager of Belgian side Anderlecht, but left his role there to take over the Clarets.
The Belgian boss was 11/10 favourite to take over at Burnley last month and the bookmakers were right with Kompany becoming Burnley manager on Tuesday.
A massive 14 players left the club last week as their contracts ran down, leaving Kompany with a big hole in his squad ahead of pre-season beginning next month.

Burnley were one of the three relegated sides from the Premier League last season, but find themselves 6th favourites to win the division.
At odds of 10/1, Watford and Norwich are both above them in the market despite both being relegated alongside the Clarets.
| Championship Winners | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Watford | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Norwich | 13/2 | 13.3% |
| Middlesbrough | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Sheffield United | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| West Brom | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Burnley | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Watford are the favourites to go straight back up after retaining key players in their squad for the new season.

Burnley are 8/1 to be relegated this season
Despite being 6th favourites to win the league in the new season, Burnley are actually shorter odds to be relegated with bookies.

Rotherham are favourites to be relegated from the Championship this season after promotion back into the league after a year in League One.
