Vincent Kompany believes that he has a lot to offer Anderlecht as player-manager.

The Manchester City and Belgium legend left the Citizens after 11 years in the Premier League.

Now Kompany takes on the challenge of taking one of the biggest clubs from his country back into the big time.

While he is under no illusions about the challenge ahead, Kompany believes he has what it takes to help Anderlecht back to winning trophies.

"I understand that there is a lot of work, but I'm really looking forward to starting," said Kompany to reporters.

"I have the chance to make my mark here and I'm proud that I have that opportunity.

"We came sixth last year, so we have to get better than five other teams in one season. But my opinion is that with a few changes we can get there. I'm convinced of that.

"I feel I can start something incredible here. People who know me know I would not start something without a plan."
