Man City coach Pep Guardiola claims Vincent Kompany will be the team's coach sooner or later

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his former captain Vincent Kompany, now in charge of Burnley, is destined to manage the club in the future.

City face Burnley in an FA Cup quarter-final on the weekend of 18-19 March.

"His destiny to be Man City boss is written in the stars," said Guardiola.

Kompany, 36, took charge of Burnley last June and has revamped their playing style as they lead the EFL Championship by 12 points.

"Sooner or later, he will be manager here," added Guardiola.

"It is going to happen. I don't know when, but it is going to happen. It's my feeling."

Burnley have lost just two of their 34 league games so far, scoring 68 goals, and they have reached the FA Cup's last eight for the first time in 20 years.

"The consistency they are showing is unbelievable," said the Spaniard. "I am impressed. The Championship is difficult for the number of games.

"They are close to promotion again to the Premier League and I am delighted for him personally for his success at Burnley.

"I think all of us, as fans, will be happy for him to be back."
