Bayern Munich has appointed Vincent Kompany as their new coach, but the details of his contract are still being finalized, according to club supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Although agreements have been reached in principle with the 38-year-old Belgian, who led Burnley to relegation from the Premier League last season, there are still some aspects of the deal that need to be settled before Kompany officially joins the team.
Kompany’s appointment was revealed by Rummenigge to Sky Italia, who confirmed that the sports director has chosen him as Bayern’s new coach, with just a few final details left to be ironed out. The decision was made with the help of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who has worked closely with Kompany both at City and during his time at Burnley.
After parting ways with coach Thomas Tuchel in February following a disappointing season, Bayern Munich has been searching for a new leader to guide them to success in the coming seasons. Kompany, who has prior Bundesliga experience from his time at Hamburg before moving to Manchester City, is seen as a strong candidate for the role following his successful stint with Burnley.
Despite Kompany being a front-runner for the position, other prominent coaches like Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann and Ralf Rangnick have reportedly declined Bayern’s offers in the past. Ultimately, Kompany’s potential appointment marks another chapter in Bayern Munich’s search for a new coach to lead them back to glory on and off the pitch.
