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."
