Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has turned down multiple approaches to take charge of national teams at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to exclusive information obtained by Kooora.
The former Manchester City captain, who is currently focused on the Clarets’ promotion push from the Championship, has received several official offers in recent weeks. These proposals came from national federations looking to secure his services for the upcoming global tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
However, Kompany has firmly rejected all advances. His commitment remains entirely with Burnley, and he has no intention of leaving his project at Turf Moor midway through the season. The Belgian’s sole focus is on achieving immediate promotion back to the Premier League.
This decision underscores Kompany’s long-term vision for the club. He believes in the project he is building in Lancashire and is determined to see it through, prioritizing club stability over the prestige of an international role at football’s biggest event.
With his rejection clear, the national teams that approached him will now have to look elsewhere for their managerial solutions ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
