After long-term work, Bayern Munich has finally found its new coach in the person of Vincent Kompany. The Belgian comes straight from Burnley.
This is the end of a long series. After chasing the rare bird for several weeks, Bayern Munich finally has its new coach. The former German champions suffered several notable refusals (Xabi Alonso, Nagelsmann, Rangnick, etc.), before setting their sights on Vincent Kompany.
“At the club we all agree that Vincent Kompany is the right coach for FC Bayern and we look forward to working with him, explains CEO Jan-Christian Dressen. Max Eberl and Christoph Freund have worked tirelessly and meticulously to find a coach who will lead FC Bayern to success and continue to develop the club with new ideas. Vincent Kompany represents exactly the unity and team spirit we need. »
The coach of the 19th in the Premier League
It may seem surprising for a club of such standing to seek out the coach of the 19th in the Premier League. But Kompany was able to bring Burnley up last season by displaying quality play, inspired by his years under the orders of Pep Guardiola. Which pleased Bayern.
“Vincent Kompany is the type of coach who fits very well with the playing philosophy and identity of FC Bayern, says sports director Christoph Freund. His teams want the ball and want to play dominant, high-intensity football. He is a young, very ambitious coach with a lot of international experience. He listens to the players and knows exactly what needs to happen on the pitch. He can and will bring a lot to our team. »
