Bayern has finally found a coach and is going out on a limb. Surprisingly, it is to be taken over by a player legend who has been relegated from the English Premier League
After a long time, the Munich giant got a taste of what it is like to end the season without a trophy. Moreover, they have to deal with a change of head coach. Who will take over Bayern? Quite unusually, he was given the bin by the big names, close so is the arrival of an inexperienced strategist.

Bayern Munich have had a very unusual season. It hasn’t won any trophies, it has struggled not only in terms of results but also in terms of play. In the Bundesliga, it finished third, with Stuttgart leapfrogging Leverkusen in the table.
Coach Thomas Tuchel has been under a lot of pressure since his arrival at the Allianz Arena. It wasn’t so much his fault. The fans disagreed with the decision of the club’s management, who incomprehensibly sacked Julian Nagelsmann in a season that was well underway.
However, he couldn’t turn the situation around. On the contrary. Under his leadership, the Bavarian giant could not even come close to the level it showed when the younger Nagelsmann was coaching.
So it was no surprise when he agreed to end his cooperation with the club after the end of this season. But Bayern surprisingly cannot find a replacement. Several big names have turned him down and so speculation has started about Tuchel staying in Munich after all.
But that has now been disproved. Instead, Munich are determined to take an extremely surprising and somewhat risky step into the unknown.
Bayern are likely to be led by a coach who has been relegated from the Premier League
The Bavarian giant has decided to gamble on potential and risk after a failed attempt to attract a big name. In England, he has sought out a former standout stopper who has one season in the Premier League under his belt.
Specifically, Vincent Kompany, a Manchester City legend. The Belgian has two years at Burnley under his belt. In his first season, he managed to turn a team renowned for its defensive prowess into an offensive machine and dominated the second English league with it. However, he failed to strengthen the squad adequately in the summer and was unable to keep it in the Premier League.
Before Burnley, Kompany managed to gain experience at Anderlecht in Belgium. He is currently 38 years old and speaks German from his time at Hamburg. And it seems Bayern have already communicated with him and according to Fabrizio Romano, everything looks positive.
Kompany has the potential to become a world-class coach, according to the club’s management. The Munich club trusts his ideas, visions and ideas. It is probably only a matter of time before an official agreement is reached. However, the coach has a contract at Burnley until 2028, which is the only obstacle.
