Vincent Jean Mpoy Kompany (born 10 April 1986) is a Belgian professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Bundesliga club Bayern Munich. A centre-back, he played for Manchester City for eleven seasons, eight of which he spent as captain. Kompany also represented Belgium for fifteen years, seven as captain.

Kompany began his professional career at Anderlecht; having graduated from their youth system, he was with the club for three seasons as a first team player before moving to Bundesliga club Hamburg in 2006. In the summer of 2008, he completed a transfer to Premier League club Manchester City, where he established himself as an integral part of the squad and was regarded as one of the bargain buys of the revolutionised City era, blossoming into one of the league's best centre-backs. In the 2011–12 season he was awarded the captaincy of City, leading his club to win the Premier League that season, their first league title in 44 years. Kompany was included in the Premier League Team of the Year for two years in a row in 2011 and 2012 as well as being included in the 2014 team, and won the Premier League Player of the Season in 2012, and is regarded as one of the best defenders in English football history.

In 19 May 2019, after 11 years at City, he announced he would leave the club in June 2019 when his contract expired. On 1 July he became the player-manager at Anderlecht of the Belgian First Division A where he started his professional playing career. A year later, he announced his retirement from professional football and was presented as Anderlecht's first-team manager.
