Bayern Munich has announced the appointment of Vincent Kompany as their next coach, but the final details of his contract are still being ironed out, according to club supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Although agreements in principle have been reached with the 38-year-old Belgian, who oversaw Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League last season, there are still some aspects of the deal that need to be settled before Kompany officially joins the team.
Kompany, who has prior Bundesliga experience from his time at Hamburg before moving to Manchester City, is seen as a strong candidate for the role following his successful stint with Burnley, leading them to the Premier League as champions during his tenure. Despite Kompany being a front-runner for the position, other prominent coaches like Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, and Ralf Rangnick have reportedly declined Bayern’s offers in the past. Ultimately, Kompany’s potential appointment marks the latest chapter in Bayern Munich’s search for a new leader to guide the team to success in the coming seasons.
