Came as an unknown, departs as a club legend

Vincent Kompany came to Man City as a relative unknown and has departed as one of the best center backs the Premier League has ever had the pleasure of hosting.

Joining in 2008, right after the Abu-Dhabi takeover, the Belgian defender quickly emerged as a fan favourite for his immense contribution to the team and hard work on the pitch, according to providers of internet betting in Belgium.

He’ll head back to RSC Anderlecht – the club where he made his start – where, along with being a player, he will also serve as a manager in a dual-role.

“I have decided to take up the challenge at RSC Anderlecht: Player-Manager,” said the 33-year-old. “I want to share my knowledge with the next purple generations. With that, I will also put a bit of Manchester in the heart of Belgium.”

“This may come as a surprise to you, it’s the most passionate yet rational decision I’ve ever made. As a football, I was born and raised at RSC Anderlecht. Since the age of 6, I have been one with that club. A history of 34 league titles, they are second to none.”

“Man City play the football I want to play. It is the football I want to teach and to see played.”

Full trophy cabinet, despite lack of European silverware

In 11 years with the Etihad side, Kompany has collected 4 Premier League titles – including the historic 2011/12 campaign that gave the club their first league crown in the modern era.

On top of that, he’s also claimed 2 FA Cups, 4 Football league Cup/EFL Cups and 2 Community Shield medals.

But despite experiencing huge success domestically, Kompany was never able to get his hands on the most coveted trophy on the continent – the Champions League.

Nonetheless, his service to the Sky Blues has already cemented his status within the club and will surely go down as one of their top players.
