The World has officially gone mad – Vincent Kompany gets Bayern Munich job after relegation


 
 
 
 
 
 

Wednesday afternoon has seen Vincent Kompany appointed by Bayern Munich.

Few things in football surprise you these days but surely this takes the biscuit?

Vincent Kompany relegated with Burnley, only to be then punished / rewarded with one of the top jobs in world football.

How does that work?

I think Vincent Kompany has shown signs of managerial ability but I can’t see how that translates into getting the Bayern Munich job?

Last season, Burnley ended up eight points off safety, won only five of 38 Premier League games all year, with only Sheffield United preventing them finishing rock bottom.

Maybe in years to come a real sliding doors moment for Vincent Kompany, going on to have a glittering managerial career with Bayern Munich.

Yet looking back and wondering if say Burnley had finished fourth bottom and not got relegated, would he have still left Turf Moor???

BBC Sport breaking news report – 29 May 2024:

‘Bayern Munich have appointed Vincent Kompany as their new head coach on a three-year deal.

The Belgian, 38, succeeds Thomas Tuchel and leaves Burnley for the Bundesliga side after the two clubs agreed a compensation fee.

Kompany won the Championship with Burnley in 2022-23, but the Clarets suffered relegation from the Premier League this season after finishing 19th.

“It’s a great honour to be able to work for this club – FC Bayern is an institution in international football,” said the former Manchester City defender.’
