Bayern Munich has confirmed the appointment of Vincent Kompany as their new manager, replacing Thomas Tuchel. The 38-year-old Belgian has signed a three-year deal with the German giants.

Kompany’s managerial career began with Anderlecht, the club where he started his playing career. He led them to the Belgian Cup final in 2021-22 before leaving at the end of that season to take charge of Burnley.

At Burnley, Kompany guided the Clarets to the Championship title with 101 points and secured promotion to the Premier League in his first season. However, he was unable to avoid an immediate return to the second tier as they finished 19th last term, resulting in relegation.

Despite this setback, Kompany is eager to prove himself at the top level. “My mentality is that I never haven’t ever worked for a top club in my head,” he said. “A top club is the environment you create. It’s the mentality you have towards your job in good and bad times, that’s what defines working at the top level.”

Kompany is confident that he can bring success to Bayern Munich, who finished third in the Bundesliga last term and ended a campaign without a trophy for the first time since 2011-12. “I’m eternally motivated, I wake up from the morning to the evening motivated with the intention to make everyone around me better,” he said.

The Belgian manager is not defined by his successful years, but by the tough times he has faced. “I don’t want to be successful on my own, I want to bring as many people with me, that’s in my nature,” he added. Kompany’s appointment marks a new era for Bayern Munich, who are looking to regain their dominance in the Bundesliga and make a significant impact in European competitions.

The former Manchester City captain is known for his leadership qualities and tactical acumen, which he hopes to bring to the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich fans will be hoping that Kompany can restore the club’s winning mentality and bring silverware back to the club.

As he begins his new role, Kompany is already feeling at home. “It already feels like home,” he said, indicating that he is ready to get started and make a positive impact at the club.
