Comparing Kompany to Xabi Alonso, who led Bayer Leverkusen to Bundesliga glory in his first season as a coach, showcases the growing trend of European clubs seeking out young coaches. Regardless of their differing achievements this season, both coaches represent a shift in the coaching landscape, where clubs are willing to take calculated risks on young talent. Kompany's upcoming debut season with a top club like Bayern Munich gives a significant opportunity for him to display his coaching abilities on a high stage, especially given the caliber of players at his disposal.

As Bayern Munich seek to maintain their competitive nature in European football, their decision to appoint Kompany signifies a willingness to embrace fresh and innovative coaching approaches. Kompany's blend of experience as a former elite player and his budding coaching career puts him as an intriguing prospect for Bayern. While there are imminent challenges in transitioning from coaching a smaller club to a European powerhouse like Bayern, Kompany's appointment reflects a trend in football where clubs seek coaches who can manage technicality with a different view, regardless of age or coaching level.

One of them took Burnley to 19th place out of 20 in the premier league, and the other took Leverkusen to 52 win season, 51 in a row, with both Bundesliga title and domestic cup (and finals at Europa too).

So we can say which manager is better, even if somehow Bayern wins the title this year, we can be certain that you can switch the managers and Bayern would definitely win the title, right now there is still a chance that Leverkusen could win and all of that is only because of Xabi, if Xabi was at Bayern and Vincent was at Leverkusen, we would have seen Bayern win the league before week 30, and see Leverkusen be 8th. It was a horrible fumble on Bayern's part to get him, I do not trust what they saw in him at all.
