Coach Bangsang Kompany does not seem to have agonized when he received Bayern Munich’s offer.
“The issue of appointing Munich’s next head coach is likely to finally end,” Germany’s “Bavarian Football” reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time). The final candidate will be Kompany, who led Burnley.
The media reported multiple news outlets. In particular, Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, said, “Munich Bodzean was fascinated by Kompany’s vision and ideas. I think he has the potential to become a top coach. Now, Burnley has a compensation fee issue. Kompany accepted Munich’s offer after five minutes.”
Kompany is a young leader who is 38 years old now. He spent most of his career at Manchester City. Since joining Manchester City in 2008, he has been praised as the best defender of the Premier League as he has played top-notch for over 10 years. He then moved to his former club Anderlecht, where he made his professional debut, and immediately began his career as a coach after retirement.
Then, he assumed the leadership of Burnley ahead of the last season. After repeated promotion and relegation, Burnley ranked 18th in the 2021-22 season and dropped to the English Championship (minority 2). To reorganize the team, he appointed Kompany. Despite the chaotic situation with key players leaving the team and decreasing financial support, Kompany quickly reorganized the team.
Then, he won promotion to the PL in just one season. He didn’t lead the league from the beginning. However, Burnley under Kompany has been on the lead since November 2022, when he reached his halfway point for the season. In the end, he clinched promotion and won the title with seven games left in the league.
However, this season, which was the first season of promotion, ended regrettably. Burnley had only five wins in the league throughout the season. His final result was 18th in the league with five wins, nine draws and 24 losses in 38 games. Eventually, he will return to the championship stage in a year.
At the same time, there was a possibility that Munich would take over. Munich had difficulty finding a successor to Tuchel. Munich ended the season with disappointing results. It was eliminated from all competitions and ended with no win. In particular, even the German Bundesliga, which had won for 11 consecutive seasons, gave up its throne to Leverkusen. Then, it decided to separate from Tuchel at the end of February.
There was a possibility of immediate dismissal at the time, but the team decided that there was no suitable person for interim head coach. The team is also working on naming its next head coach. Many candidates were mentioned, including Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso and former Munich coach Hanji Flick, but all failed.
In the meantime, The Times reported that Munich is considering appointing Kompany as its new manager. Munich decided to separate from Tuchel and chose to appoint its next coach, but this did not happen as desired. Kompany made a surprise report saying that despite experiencing relegation from Burnley this season, Kompany has been nominated.
Since the news first broke, coach Kompany’s trip to Munich has continued to take shape. It was argued that only the compensation agreement with Burnley remained.
