Bayern Munich has identified the coach on whom it intends to rely to ensure succession.
Thomas Tuchel will no longer be in charge of Bayern Munich next season. And the management of the Bavarian club now has a very precise idea of the technician they intend to install on their bench.
According to information disclosed this Wednesday by The Guardian, the German giant has set its sights on Vincent Kompany, the Burnley coach. A surprising choice to say the least because the young Belgian coach is coming out of a very complicated season at the head of the Clarets.
Kompany, a second Guardiola to lead Bayern?
The source also specifies that negotiations are well advanced with the former captain of the Red Devils. Bayern also contacted the Burnely board to discuss financial compensation.
The interest in Kompany could be explained by the fact that he is a disciple of Pep Guardiola in more than one way. The latter having left very good memories during his time at the Allianz Arena between 2013 and 2016.
It remains to be seen whether this solution will appeal to Munich supporters or not. They were waiting for much more high-sounding names to take care of their team. Zinedine Zidane, Roberto De Zerbi, Unai Emery, Julian Nagelsmann and Hansi Flick were in turn announced as successors to Thomas Tuchel.
