It’s not goodbye but see you again as Vincent Kompany gives the final speech on his departure today….

Vincent Kompany bade an emotional farewell to Burnley in front of 100,000 fans on this day

The long-serving now manager of Burnley, announced he was leaving City after 11 successful years to take up the role of player-manager at Anderlecht

Consequently the defender was the star of the show as City celebrated the 2018/19 season’s historic domestic treble with an open-top bus parade through Manchester city centre.

Speaking as the parade culminated with a stage show outside Manchester Cathedral, the Belgian said: “I’ve given everything I could for this club. I can’t tell you how proud of that I am. I have nothing left. I have given everything.”

Kompany’s future had been the subject of speculation for some time but he realised the time was right to leave when he scored a spectacular winner against Leicester earlier that month. His long-range strike, in their penultimate game of the season, took City within one game of retaining their Premier League title.

He said: “The moment that ball against Leicester went ‘top bins’ I knew I was done! I couldn’t do anything better. It felt right.”
