It’s now more than two weeks since the season ended — and nearly eight since Dyche’s Good Friday departure — as supporters wait with bated breath to hear about who’ll be next in the hot seat.
All roads lead to ex-Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, who guided RSC Anderlecht to a third place finish in the Belgian First Division A last season as well as a cup final.
The Brussels-born 36-year-old won four Premier League titles with City and made 361 appearances in all competitions for the club after signing from Hamburg ahead of the 2008-09 campaign.
Here are the dealings the former centre back had with the Clarets as a player.
