Vincent Kompany Remains ‘Proud’ of Man City Achievements During 11 Years at Club

The former captain said he loved his 11 years at the club but could not speak to off-field matters after City were found guilty on most charges.

  • On Friday, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany stated he remains proud of his on-pitch achievements at Manchester City following an independent commission's guilty verdict on over 100 Premier League financial rule breaches between 2009 and 2018.
  • Kompany spent 11 years at Manchester City as a player and captain, winning four Premier League titles and four League Cups, with three of those titles occurring during the period covered by the breaches.
  • Distancing himself from administrative affairs, the 40-year-old manager emphasized players were not involved in off-pitch matters, stating "I'm really proud of" the on-pitch achievements while focusing on his current Bayern Munich role.
  • City has lodged a formal appeal claiming the findings contain "clear material errors." Under updated Premier League regulations, an appointed appeal board will conduct a hearing within 12 weeks, with a final decision due within 30 days.
  • Other managers have expressed similar sentiments regarding the situation, including former City player Frank Lampard, as the club prepares for the next stage of the legal process following the recent ruling.
