Alan Pace, the chairman of Burnley, has pushed back against rumors linking the club to Coventry City manager Mark Robins as a potential replacement for Vincent Kompany. Despite Burnley’s recent relegation from the Premier League, Pace remains focused on guiding the team back to the top flight.
Following reports of uncertainty surrounding Kompany’s future with the club, speculation arose that Burnley could be in search of a new manager for the upcoming season. However, Pace seemed to dismiss these rumors by responding to the claims with a GIF of Pinocchio, suggesting that the reports were not entirely truthful.
As Burnley looks ahead to the 2024/25 season, Pace’s reaction indicates that there may be no imminent changes in the coaching staff and that Kompany could potentially remain at the helm. While names like Mark Robins and Ashley Cole have been mentioned as potential candidates for the job, it seems that Pace is focused on keeping the team together in the face of adversity.
