In the wake of Vincent Kompany’s appointment as manager of Bayern Munich, German football journalist Raphael Honigstein discussed the potential for Kompany’s expectations to be lowered. According to Honigstein, this may be due to the team’s recent poor performance and Kompany’s lack of experience at this level. However, Honigstein also noted that with the resources available to Bayern, reclaiming the top spot in the league should be a realistic goal for the team under Kompany’s leadership.
Honigstein emphasized that this may represent a shift in mindset for Bayern Munich, who have not considered winning the championship as a significant achievement in many years. Despite recent success in the Champions League, there is room for growth and development within the squad, and Kompany has an opportunity to build on the foundation laid by his predecessors and improve their performance.
