Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a member of Bayern Munich’s supervisory board, confirmed that Vincent Kompany is slated to become the next coach of Bayern Munich. Although the contract details are yet to be finalized, Kompany has reportedly agreed in principle to take over the role. This development follows Bayern’s decision to part ways with Thomas Tuchel in February after the team fell behind Bayer Leverkusen in the title race, influenced by former coach Pep Guardiola’s advice. Despite overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League, the 38-year-old Belgian is poised to lead Bayern.
Kompany Nears Move to Bayern Munich
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed to Sky Italia that Vincent Kompany is close to joining Bayern Munich, with only minor details left to finalize. “Our sports director has chosen Kompany; it’s almost official, just some final details to settle,” stated the former striker. Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, played a significant role in recommending Kompany, having known him well from his tenure as captain at City and his performance at Burnley. Bayern, having parted ways with Thomas Tuchel in February following a slip in the title race to Bayer Leverkusen, sees Kompany as a promising candidate. Kompany, familiar with Bundesliga from his time at Hamburg and recently leading Burnley to the Premier League, is among the high-profile names considered for the position at Bayern, following declines from Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, and Ralf Rangnick.
