Belgium star Vincent Kompany needed only six hours to convince Anderlecht to give him the player-manager job.
Kompany has decided to leave Manchester City, as he will be continuing his footballing adventure with Anderlecht instead.
And according to the club's technical director Frank Arnesen, it took a single six-hour meeting for Kompany to make his case for the player-manager role.
"We went to City and we had a meeting with [Kompany] for six hours," Arnesen told Sky Sports News.
"I was really amazed and when we went home after this meeting I fully agreed.
"There are so many ups and so few downs. Anderlecht is on the floor at the moment. That is why I came in four months ago. Vincent as a player will not bring us one step ahead, [but] maybe three, four steps ahead. We have no leaders.
"Everything football-wise is fantastic [with his appointment]. I was very impressed with his explanation about the philosophy, how we will do and what he is doing.
"I said I am in {to Coucke and Vershueren] and then Vincent said I will do it about four weeks ago."
