Former Burnley Coach has joined Bayern Munich, replacing Thomas Tuchel at the Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany is a Manchester City Legend!
Bayern would endure one of their worst seasons in recent years. The Bavarians would end up losing the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen. Furthermore, they would end the season without any silverware. To make matters worse, Bayern’s 11 years streak of lifting the Meisterschale would come to an end. Furthermore, they would lose in the Champions League semi final to Real Madrid in a closely contested tie. Additionally, they would also lose out on the DFB Pokal Cup with Leverkusen completing their domestic double. Moreover, the record Meisterschale would finish 3rd on the league table behind VFB Sttutgart!
Bayern never looked like themselves throughout the campaign. They were unable to assert their dominance in the Bundesliga. Subsequently, Bayern would decide to sack Thomas Tuchel. Former Bayern manager Pep Guardiola was key in Kompany’s appointment at the Allianz Arena.
The 38-year old will be hoping to hit the ground running at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern back Vincent Kompany: Club’s economy first priority!
Bayern director Max Eberl would go on to endorse Vincent Kompany stating how ‘hungry’ he is. Furthermore, he would state about trust and the vote of confidence placed in Kompany.
Bayern have already secured Michael Olise from Crystal Palace under Kompany.
Furthermore, Bayern are close to signing Joao Palhinha from Fulham. Palhinha would be a great addition to Bayern’s midfield. Especially, considering the Portuguese is best known for breaking counter attacks!
Palhinha will be providing the Bavarians with some much needed squad depth in central midfield. Additionally, there will also be most required increased competition in midfield. Moreover, Palhinha will also increase attacking fluidity in Bayern’s midfield.
Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany is also considering Xavi Simons move from PSG. The 21-year old Dutch attacking midfielder has been impressive so far! Additionally, Simons already has an experience of playing in the Bundesliga with his season long loan for RB Leipzig.
Consequently, Bayern President Herbert Hainer spoke in favor of Kompany’s appointment. Although, he would make it pretty clear that not all of Kompany’s transfers would be granted. Hainer said:
“He’s a strong personality and will bring new impulses and ideas. We want to do what is necessary for sporting success – but it’s always clear that the club’s economic stability must be guaranteed and everything must remain within limits“.
Florian Wirtz to Bayern: A possibility?
The Bavarians are looking to re-assert their dominance and restore glory days at Allianz Arena. Bayern have a reputation for acquiring top performers in the Bundesliga. With Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen breaking all sorts of records, many Leverkusen players are on Bayern’s radar.
Leverkusen captain Jonathan Tah remains a top target for Bayern to reinforce defense. Especially, considering Matthijs de Ligt could be moving to Manchester United. A move for 21-year old Florian Wirtz may also just be on the horizon. The attacking midfielder would secure 38 G/A in 49 games across all competitions for Leverkusen.
Although, Leverkusen are expecting Wirtz to stay this season. Consequently, Vincent Kompany and Bayern could materialize a deal for the youngster in 2025!
