Sky's Mission to Burnley Docuseries Exposes Secret Interviews
Burnley owner Alan Pace has surprised fans by disclosing that two managers were interviewed for the club's head coach position before Vincent Kompany was chosen. The identities of these candidates were concealed in Sky's docuseries "Mission to Burnley" since both men were already employed at the time.
Pace Confirms Secret Talks Despite Managers' Current Roles
During the series, Pace admitted to having discussions with the unnamed managers while they were still employed elsewhere. This revelation adds an intriguing twist to Burnley's coaching search process, confirming that they thoroughly explored their options before ultimately selecting Kompany.
Burnley's Choice Pays Off with Promotion
Despite the secretive nature of the selection process, Pace is undoubtedly pleased with the outcome. Burnley successfully returned to the Premier League in their first attempt, winning the Championship by a comfortable 10-point margin over Sheffield United under Kompany's leadership.
Kompany Seeks Squad Improvements
However, Burnley's Premier League return has been challenging so far. They suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to reigning champions Manchester City on August 11. As a result, Kompany is eager to bolster his squad before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Possible £12 Million Deal for Aston Villa's Aaron Ramsey
One potential transfer target for Burnley is Aston Villa midfielder Aaron Ramsey, aged 20. Reports suggest that a £12 million deal could still be on the table, although Villa is seeking a complex buy-back arrangement. Villa manager Unai Emery is keen to keep tabs on the talented England Under-20 star, regardless of his future destination.
