Kompany - The Making Of the Man (inbunden, eng)

Vincent Kompany, a man whose talent and leadership skills continue to impress the footballing world, already has a statue honouring him outside Manchester City''s Etihad Stadium - a rare tribute earned for his total commitment to victory. Never afraid to speak his mind, Kompany says what he believes will give him and  his team the best chance of success.

Utterly confident in his convictions, his words are expressed with an honesty and intellect that has earned him respect both as a world class player and, now, as an elite coach. By speaking to those who shaped Vincent''s life, this book helps us understand what made Kompany the man he has become and what drives him to succeed.

The author, Frank Van de Winkel, speaks to Vincent''s family, his early-years teachers and coaches, fans of the football teams he has played for and managed, as well as those involved in his charitable work in Belgium and Democratic Republic of Congo, and paints a vivid picture of a deep-thinking, compassionate human who has been able to maximise his talents both on and off the pitch.

Vincent''s coaching and managerial career sees him destined to reach the pinnacle of his profession - just as he did as a player. Gaining invaluable experience back at Anderlecht saw him move, unexpectedly, to Burnley, where he set about revolutionising a functional style of play, with his side emerging as a run-away success story in the English Championship, and The Clarets returning to the Premier League and regaining their place at the top table.

Kompany will have gained invaluable experience from a campaign of struggle and his reputation looks to have survived relegation unblemished. Vincent Kompany''s star continues to rise regardless and his appointment as head coach at Bayern Munich marks a game-changing moment in a career that never ceases to amaze.
