Football: Match Reports and Latest News - Rummenigge: Commitment of Kompany hinges on specifics
Vincent Kompany is close to becoming the new coach of Bayern Munich, with only minor details left to be ironed out. According to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a former board member, the commitment of Kompany is imminent. Rummenigge also revealed that Pep Guardiola, a former Bayern coach, has given his endorsement of Kompany's talents as a coach.
In a conversation with Sky, Rummenigge shared that "The board has decided to hire Vincent Kompany as the new head coach. We're currently sorting out the finer points, and then it'll be official." Guardiola, who is familiar with Kompany, has reportedly spoken positively about Kompany's abilities as a coach, which adds to his credibility.
Speculations suggest that the announcement of Kompany's appointment will happen on Wednesday. Kompany, a former Manchester City and Hamburger SV player, is rumored to join Bayern Munich with a contract that spans until 2027. In the meantime, Burnley, his current club, and Bayern have come to an agreement on a release fee. The amount is expected to be between €10 and €12 million.
Kompany's time at Burnley has been successful – his relegation to the Premier League a year ago was followed by an impressive stint as champion in the second-class Championship. However, Burnley's performance in the just-concluded season led them back to the second division.
Bayern Munich's search for a new coach has been a prolonged one, garnering much public attention. Among those considered were Thomas Tuchel, who is leaving after the current season, Xabi Alonso from Leverkusen, Julian Nagelsmann, the national coach, and Ralf Rangnick, the Austrian national coach. But all these options failed to materialize. Even an attempt to keep Tuchel didn't work.
