Bayern Munich has named Vincent Kompany as new head coach.


Bayern Munich has announced that Vincent Kompany will become their new head coach after signing a contract until 2027.

Kompany, who has long been rumored to be at the top of Bayern's wishlist, joins the German club after parting company with former manager Thomas Tuchel following a disappointing season in which they finished third in the Bundesliga, ending an 11-year league winning streak.

A statement on the club's website read: "FC Bayern has hired Vincent Kompany as its new coach. The 38-year-old Belgian has signed with the German record holders until June 30, 2027. He most recently worked for FC Burnley, an English Premier League club.

The 38-year-old began his management career as a player-coach for Anderlecht before joining Burnley for the 2022/23 season. Kompany was promoted to the Premier League on his first attempt and introduced a more free-flowing offensive style of football to the Clarets.

Burnley finished 19th in the top tier this season, winning only five of their 38 games.

When questioned about his selection as Bayern's new head coach, Kompany responded: "I'm looking forward to the challenge of FC Bayern. It's an honor to be able to work for this club, as FC Bayern is a true international football institution.

"As a coach, you have to be true to yourself: I enjoy having the ball and being creative, but we also have to be aggressive and courageous on the field. I'm now looking forward to the most fundamental tasks: collaborating with the players and forming a team. When the foundation is established, prosperity will follow."

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen stated, "We all at the club agree that Vincent Kompany is the right coach for FC Bayern and are very excited to work with him."

"Max Eberl and Christoph Freund [Bayern's sports directors] never gave up and worked tirelessly to find a coach who could guide FC Bayern to success and further develop the club with innovative ideas. Vincent Kompany embodies the unity and team spirit that we require."

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...

🏅Mateta shines as France defeats Egypt, securing a gold medal clash with Spain.

On Monday night, France hosted two Olympic semi-finals. This is what occurred. France advances to the final following a fierce clash with Egypt. In a tense contest, France rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 2-1 in extra time. After a poor start, France improved just before the interval, with Loïc Badé hitting the post after Joris Chotard's pass. Alexandre Lacazette had a golden opportunity to score in the second half, but he hesitated and ultimately missed the shot. After absorbing all of France's pressure, Egypt proceeded to the other end, where Mahmoud Saber smashed a powerful attempt into the roof of the net. The goal ignited the game, and Hamza Alaa made a wonderful save on a Jean-Philippe Mateta header. France then hit the post twice in quick succession, with Lacazette's shot and Badé's follow-up hitting the woodwork. Les Bleus equalised thanks to a brilliantly weighted ball from Michael Olise, which Mateta converted decisively. France requested for ...
