The Championship club is on the verge of losing its manager ahead of the summer.
Burnley are on the verge of replacing manager Vincent Kompany before next season’s Championship campaign. Burnley were relegated from the Premier League under former Manchester City star Vincent Kompany, barely a year after blasting to promotion from the Championship.

Kompany has been connected with Germany since last week, following Thomas Tuchel’s departure from Munich after a trophy-less season.

“Bayern are nearing a contract to hire Vincent Kompany as new head coach; it is imminent.

The Black Cats finished 16th in the Championship last season and are looking for a new head coach following the dismissal of Michael Beale earlier this year.
