In addition, Bram Greers also leaves the Clarets to join Bayern as a fitness coach.

Rodyse Munienge, who also worked with Kompany at Anderlecht, completes his backroom team as his personal assistant.

Craig Bellamy worked with Kompany at both Anderlecht and Burnley but won’t be joining his former boss in Germany.

Mike Jackson, another member of Kompany’s team at Turf Moor, is currently assisting Bellamy as part of the caretaker team.

It’s been reported that goalkeeping coach Jelle Ten Rouwelaar is set to join Ajax, a move that had been lined up prior to Kompany’s exit.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for set-piece coach Eliot Tybebo and analyst Richard Bredice, who were both brought to the club by Kompany.

The 39-year-old joins from Swedish side Kalmar FF, where he was managing in the Allsvenskan - the top tier of Swedish football.

The appointment has no connection to the club’s ongoing search for Vincent Kompany’s successor.
