Vincent Kompany has agreed to personal terms with Bayern Munich to become their next manager, according to Fabrizio Romano. The former Manchester City captain is in advanced talks with the Bundesliga giants, with his move from Burnley nearing completion.
Kompany, who currently manages Burnley, has made a significant impact since his appointment. He guided the Clarets back to the Premier League in 2023, although the team struggled and was relegated again after finishing 19th in the table with just 24 points.
Bayern Munich’s preference for Kompany over other candidates, including Mauricio Pochettino, who was considered after his unexpected departure from Chelsea, highlights their confidence in his managerial potential. Kompany’s assistant at Burnley, Craig Bellamy, is also under consideration to replace him at Turf Moor. However, Kompany is keen to bring Bellamy with him to Germany.
This move represents a substantial step up for Kompany, who has been in charge at Burnley for two years and is currently managing in the Championship. Before his tenure at Burnley, Kompany managed Belgian club Anderlecht, where he earned a reputation for promoting attractive football.
Kompany’s transition to Bayern Munich will see him take over from Thomas Tuchel, with the German club hoping his leadership and vision will drive them to new successes. The move is seen as a significant vote of confidence in Kompany’s abilities and potential as a top-tier manager in European football.
