– I am looking forward to the challenge at Bayern. It is a great honor to be able to work for this club, an international football institution. As a coach, you have to defend who you are as a person: I like to have the ball, I like to be creative, and we also have to be aggressive and brave on the field. I’m looking forward to the basic things: working with the players and building the team. When the foundation is established, success comes, Kompany declared.

Kompany’s first coaching job was at Anderlecht, in Belgium, where he stayed for two seasons. He arrived at Burnley in 2022 and won the English Second Division title. After a difficult stint in the elite of English football, the coach was unable to prevent the club’s relegation. The team finished in nineteenth place with only five wins, eight draws, and 24 defeats in the tournament.

Kompany’s signing concludes Bayern Munich’s intense search for a replacement for Thomas Tuchel – since the club announced the German’s departure in February. The Germans also targeted Xabi Alonso, who indicated he would stay at Bayer Leverkusen; Julian Nagelsmann, who renewed his contract with the German national team; And Ralf Rangnick, who chose to remain in charge of the Austrian national team. Oliver Glassner and Roger Schmidt could also have been options.
