Pep Guardiola has previously backed Vincent Kompany to succeed him as Manchester City boss – and that notion has been concurred by former Blues teammate Joleon Lescott
Vincent Kompany is Manchester City’s greatest captain – but the Burnley boss believes he’ll be an even better manager.
Former City centre-back Joleon Lescott has revealed how his old defensive partner told him he was destined for bigger things than anything he achieved at the Etihad when he took over at Turf Moor a year ago.
Kompany guided the Clarets back to the Premier League in his very first season at the helm – and his team will kick-off the new season with a mouthwatering clash with Pep Guardiola’s Sky Blue Treble winners on Friday night.
Lescott, 40, and now a City ambassador reckons his former skipper will not be fazed by the challenge.
