For Bayern Munich, the seventh time is the charm! The Bavarians managed to find a coach for the next season. As it could be guessed based on the latest headlines in the European media, Thomas Tuchel will be succeeded by Vincent Kompany at the Allianz Arena.The German club reached a verbal agreement with Kompany a few days ago, but did not have the green light from his employers at Burnley. Now it has arrived as Bayern has agreed to allocate 12,000,000 euros for the young expert, and the Belgian will be presented at the Allianz Arena in the coming days, where he should stay until the summer of 2027.Until a week or two ago, Kompany was not even in the picture for the bench of the Bavarian giant, but the lack of options on the market and the lack of interest of those available gave the former Manchester City player an opportunity that he could not even dream of, especially not after relegation from the Premier League with the Clarets.##NAJAVA_MECA_8124157##Xabi Alonso decided to stay one more season in Leverkusen, Julian Nagelsmann to dedicate himself to the German national team, Ralf Rangnick to the Austrian national team, Crystal Palace drove Bayern crazy with their request for Oliver Glasner (100,000,000 euros), Thomas Tuchel refused to stay in to Munich, and Roger Schmidt to come from Benfica.It was believed that Bayern may therefore try to find an interim solution for the upcoming season until some of the proven coaches (Xabi Alonso, Jurgen Klopp) become available, but Kompany’s three-year contract suggests that Max Eberl and the rest of the sports sector want to build Bayern’s future with the former strategist of Anderlecht.Done Deal✅Vincent Kompany wird neuer Bayern-Trainer! Vertrag bis 2027 pic.twitter.com/sy1t5CvxAI— Christian Falk (@cfbayern) May 25, 2024 And although many doubt that Kompany is ready for great deeds, Pep Guardiola thinks otherwise.”It doesn’t matter that he was relegated with Burnley. Kompany will be Manchester City manager in the future, mark my words. It will happen, for sure! You will call me when it happens. I have a high opinion of his work, of him as a person, of his his personality, his knowledge of the game, the way he deals with the media… I would be happy to see Kompany at Bayern,” Guardiola said at yesterday’s press conference.He spoke in a similar tone a little over four years ago about Mikel Arteta, when his former assistant took over Arsenal. And he was right. After all – he knows a ‘little more’ about football than others.
