Bayern Munich explains the reasons for its surprising choice Vincent Kompany

Just appointed coach of Bayern Munich yesterday, Vincent Kompany (38 years old) signed up for three years with the Bavarian club, until 2027. The Belgian will thus coach his third team since he became coach in 2020 ( Anderlecht, Burnley and now Bayern Munich). A meteoric rise, although he failed to keep FC Burnley in the Premier League this year. The opportunity to become Rekordmeister coach seems unheard of, even if the main person concerned could have bounced back earlier in his career in Germany.

According to information from Bild this Thursday, Vincent Kompany was also a candidate for the position of coach of FC Schalke 04. At the time when the Gelsenkirchen club had just validated its return to the German elite, the former sports director of Königsblauen, Rouven Schröder, had initiated contacts with the Belgian without these materializing. Finally, Schalke 04 opted for Frank Kramer, inducted in July 2022 and sacked in the fall.
