The last Bayern coach to hold the DFB-Pokal was Hansi Flick four years ago. This shows how long it’s been since Bayern made it to Berlin and highlights that three top German coaches – Flick, Nagelsmann, and Tuchel – have been through the club since 2020. With Klopp unavailable and no standout local options, the club is turning to Vincent Kompany, who was on their secret wishlist for a while.
After reaching an agreement with Burnley, Kompany steps in as Bayern’s coach. Despite not being the first choice in public opinion, he has a chance to prove himself without the pressure of being a high-profile coach. Neuer, Müller, and Kane are key in supporting Kompany and changing the perception of the Bayern dressing room. Their backing will be crucial in helping Kompany succeed where others have fallen short.
Kompany deserves a fair shot, especially from Bayern themselves. Their support will be essential in determining his success. Keeping a positive attitude towards Kompany, even in tough times, will be crucial for the team to thrive under the leadership of the least known coach since Sören Lerby in 1992.
