“FC Bayern has recruited Vincent Kompany as their new coach. The 38-year-old Belgian has signed until June 30, 2027. He most recently worked for English Premier League club FC Burnley.. Through a press release and after having suffered numerous refusals (Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, etc.), Bayern Munich finally formalized the arrival of Vincent Kompany, who worked at RSC Anderlecht and Burnley. Without any real experience on the bench of a European giant, the Belgian technician will therefore have the difficult task of restoring color to the Munich team, third in the last Bundelisga exercise and semi-finalist in the Champions League.
Kompany wants to play two dirty tricks at Barça
“We are very happy to have signed Vincent Kompany for FC Bayern. In our conversations with him, we were immediately on the same level. He clearly showed us how much the position at FC Bayern appealed to him and that he absolutely wanted to take it on. Vincent Kompany is hungry and brings everything with him. Already as a player he was a leading figure in high-level international football and he is also progressing as a coach. We would like to see more continuity in this position. With him we want to achieve a lot at FC Bayern and of course succeed together”quickly welcomed the general director of sports Max Eberl.
For his part, Christoph Freund, the sports director of the Rekordmeister, also wanted to highlight the style of play of the man who wreaked havoc in the Championship before maintaining his team in the Premier League. “Vincent Kompany is a type of coach who fits very well with the playing philosophy and identity of FC Bayern: his teams want the ball, want to play football dominantly and with high intensity. He is a very ambitious young coach who has great international experience, who has his finger on the pulse of the players and knows exactly what needs to happen on the pitch. He can and will give a lot to our team”. To succeed in the first major challenge of his career, the native of Uccle wasted no time in conveying his first wishes.
Priority to defense…
Determined to strengthen the current squad, the former Manchester City defender has targeted four first names for the summer transfer window. In this context, Mundo Deportivo affirms this Friday that the Belgian would like to attract Dani Olmo (26 years old). Seduced by the versatility, vision of the game and mobility of the Spanish international midfielder from RB Leipzig, Kompany would also appreciate his knowledge of the Bundesliga. Furthermore, Nico Williams, winger for Athletic Bilbao and La Roja, would also appear on the short-list drawn up by the new Bavarian tactician. In addition to these two names, targeted by FC Barcelona, Kompany would also like to work with an old acquaintance.
Former teammate of the Bavarian coach, John Stones (30 years old) could, in fact, fly to Bavaria in the coming weeks. Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, the two men had evolved together and Kompany would not be indifferent to the idea of enlisting an experienced profile to strengthen his defense. Finally and always to improve the Munich rearguard, The Mirror indicates, for its part, that Bayern would be on the lookout to offer Oleksandr Zinchenko, left back of Arsenal. While Alphonso Davies is currently strongly linked to a transfer to Real Madrid, the arrival of the 27-year-old Ukrainian would allow German management to compensate for this probable departure. One thing is certain, the new architect of the Bavarians is already at work…
