I think Xabi is an important coach. What they did in Leverkusen is obvious. I wonder whether they will achieve these successes next year. Bayern Munich met with many coaches before signing Kompany, but it would not be easy to convince them, and they could not do it anyway. So they turned to alternatives and signed Kompany
There must be something that Bayern Munich have seen in Kompany that they signed him when they’ve many options to chose from and also neglect his prior record in coaching just this concluded season and still signed him. The Bundesliga as far as Bayern Munich is concerned, it’s ruled by them and they will want to dominate again this new season after losing the trophy to Bayern Leverkusen last season. It’s going to be a tough season for Kompany, I hope he can manage and pull them through this one.
This is something many have nor come to understand including me, why did they pick Kompany maybe is something we might find out in time but I guessed maybe because he is similar to Pep and are tempted to try some fresh blood because of recent success of Xabi Alonso.
Kompany is not a bad choice, we are underrating him based on his previous team’s performance as he ended in the relegation zone with his team Burnley in just concluded Premier League competition. He might do very well at Bayern Munich because Bayern have some quality players that can lead the team to success, and Kompany looks like a good tactical manager that knows what he is doing, just that his players are not world class and they failed to achieve their goal.
You make some sense and this is what many people have failed to understand about Kompany and just see him as the bad choice for the team after he was hired a week ago as the new manager to lead them through 2024/25 seaosn. I won’t be amongst those that will be surprised as Bayern Munich begins to be victorious in their matches next season because I’m not amongst those that doubts Kompany’s capabilities. He’ll do well and he’ll prove it to everyone soon.
This is true but can he cope with the pressure of a big team and also coaching in the Champions League, the fans will definitely want trophy next season especially after how disappointing this season went for them winning no trophy in a seafor the first time over a decade.
Though I think Kompany will face only a little trouble gaining respect from the squad because the team knows the calibre of player he was during his career and will still earn that respect. I believe if he doesn't act impartial or trying to act all high and mighty, then things will be easy with him and his squad which will make everything easy including winning trophies because Bayern Munich already have a solid squad but I just don't know what affected them last season.
