The Clarets, who were relegated from the Premier League, lost Kompany to Bayern Munich.
All I can say is that we've already begun working extremely hard to make sure we find the right person to take this project into its next phases," said the former NFL star.
It doesn't necessarily mean the biggest name, it doesn't necessarily mean anything other than the fact we want to make sure we find the exact right fit for what we're trying to do and what we're trying to build at Burnley.
We're going to make sure we ask all the right questions and do all the due diligence necessary to get that right person."
