Bayern announced this week that it will renew its contract with coach Kompany in advance until 2029. Bayern reporter Kerry Hau from Sky Sports Germany wrote an article to comment on the contract extension. He pointed out that the contract extension between the two parties is not only because of the perfect start to the season, but also because Kompany has made the club better in many aspects after many years.
Kerry Hau wrote: "Bayern's coaching search process has rarely been as chaotic and difficult as in the spring of 2024. Alonso, Rangnick and Nagelsmann all refused. Tuchel, who was informed as early as February that he would leave at the end of the season, was not persuaded to stay, and the short-term idea of bringing back Flick failed to materialize."
"At the insistence of new sports director Eberl, Bayern Kompany was eventually chosen. Many fans and experts thought it was a gamble, and public opinion said that Kompany was a stopgap measure. Even within the club, there were some initial concerns because the former Manchester City captain had only coached at Anderlecht and Burnley before and lacked the experience of being a coach. Less than a year later, there is no doubt about Kompany. The Belgian coach brought prudence, stability and cohesion after many turbulent years at Bena Street. Not just within the team, but within the club as a whole. The healthy working atmosphere he talked about on the day he announced his contract extension was the result of his own performance. "
" He is the boss, but he never puts on airs. He always puts the team first. He understood from day one that the star was the team — not him. Just like in his playing days, he doesn't take himself too seriously and treats everyone as an equal. This is especially reflected in his interactions with players, staff and Sebena Street employees, all of whom are full of praise for his usual way of dealing with people. The same goes for us media representatives. "
"I don't remember any of Kompany's press conferences or interviews. Made me feel not respected and treated fairly. Although he has not provided the sensational headlines compared to some of his predecessors, he has also protected his players after poor performances. But it just goes to show that he understands the rules of dealing with the media and knows what a positive impact good communication can have on the entire club. "
"He leaves little room for attack and always speaks clearly, honestly, and fairly on the issues we raise with him. Overall, he made it a priority to focus on the essence, which is football. And, with Bayern also playing football right, leading the team to a historically strong start to the season with 11 wins in 11 games despite the absence of Musiala and Alphonso Davies, Eberl and co. They have decided to extend the coach's contract, which was originally scheduled to expire in 2027, for another two years. "
" Kompany's team spirit has now spread to the top brass. There are no longer different camps like there were during the days of Tuchel, Nagelsmann or even Flick. Everyone supports the coach and everyone has faith in the coach and his work with the team. For a club as ambitious as Bayern Munich, Kompany will need more than just the Bundesliga title to maintain this form in the long term. But in the end, positive impressions from day-to-day interactions greatly contributed to the decision to offer him a contract extension. "
" Kompany is Bayern Munich's lucky choice. As Rummenigge said, he is a spiritual leader. And he is no longer a stopgap, but an ideal choice. "
