The Bayern Munich manager spent 11 years at City between 2008 and 2019, winning four Premier League titles and several domestic cups. He was a key figure in the club's transformation into one of English football's dominant forces.
An independent commission ruled on September 29 that City had breached more than 100 financial regulations across nine seasons, from 2009/10 to 2017/18. The club was also found guilty of most of the charges relating to its failure to cooperate with the Premier League's investigation.
City have consistently denied wrongdoing and formally appealed against the verdict on October 1.
Kompany, who joined City from Hamburg shortly before the club's takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, said the controversy did not change how he viewed his time at the Etihad Stadium.
"I played 11 years for the club. I've loved all of the years I played for the club and everything we achieved and did on the pitch - that's something I'm really proud of," Kompany told reporters on Friday.
The former Belgium captain, who has a statue outside City's stadium in recognition of his contribution to the club, was asked about the ongoing case but made it clear that his focus was elsewhere.
"Everything else, as a player you're not a part of that and right now as a coach of Bayern Munich I'm not too much occupied with that topic," he said.
"I'm preparing the game next week and preparing the game we have tomorrow and everything I have as a coach."
Kompany is concentrating on his responsibilities at Bayern, who face Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, rather than the legal battle involving his former club.
