Bayern Munich have announced the signing of Vincent Kompany from Burnley as their new manager on a three-year deal following the departure of former head coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the immediate past season.
�FC Bayern has signed Vincent Kompany as the new coach. The 38-year-old Belgian signed with the German record champion until the 30th. June 2027. Most recently, he worked for the English Premier League club FC Burnley,� the club said in a statement on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich ended the 2023/24 season on a bad note, going trophyless for the first time in over a decade.
They finished third in the Bundesliga behind league winners Bayer Leverkusen and Stuggart, which also spelt the end of Tuchel�s reign at the Allianz Arena.
The decision by the club�s hierarchy to hire the ex-Manchester City captain was a huge surprise to many as he won only five matches during 2023-2024 as Burnley returned to the Championship after he led them to Premier League promotion in the prior season.
Kompany�s appointment comes with a huge task as he has to return Bayern Munich to their best as soon as possible and the Belgian stated that he is ready for a new challenge with the German side.
�I�m looking forward to the challenge of FC Bayern. It�s a great honour to be able to work for this club � FC Bayern is an institution in international football,� he told Bayern Munich�s official website.
