Burnley appointment back on for Man City legend Kompany

Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany's move to Burnley is back on.

Kompany resigned as Anderlecht coach last week and was expected to be confirmed as manager at relegated Burnley.

However, work permit problems delayed the move - so much so that Kompany held a round of talks with Nice.

But the Daily Mail says the Belgian is now in line to be named new Clarets manager next week.

Talks have progressed in recent days, with Craig Bellamy now in contact about working with Kompany as his No2. Bellamy was coach of the academy team at Anderlecht during part of Kompany's tenure.
