I guess that Vincent Kompany will be make the same as Xabi Alonso did in Leverkusen last season.
What Alonso and the players did at Leverkusen was unique and will be not coming so fast again.
For sure Kompany is and will be under pressure and its not easy at Munich.
I think that he will be not long there as a coach.

I don't think he has to do the same thing as what Xabi did, because they definitely have different ways to improve the team's performance. Moreover, their situation is also different, it could be said that with a squad that is not luxurious, Xabi can show a good performance with Leverkusen and if we compare it with the squad that Vincent Kompany has now, we will definitely see that the Bayern Munich squad is better than Leverkusen.
If you look at it on paper, Vincent Kompany's task should be easier with the existing squad, but again this cannot be seen from paper alone, but we have to look at the quality of strategy a coach has.

I am honestly very doubtful about Kompany. If I remember correctly, Xabi Alonso was able to improve the Leverkusen team a lot even in the 2022/23 season. And this season we all know what he did with Leverkusen. on the other hand when we look at the managerial career of Kompany, just in this season he has actually taken his team to the relegation. I just don't understand how Bayern Munich actually brought in a coach that has taken his team to the relegation.

Kompany definitely has an easier task compared to Alonso. That's because he has a great squad. Maybe he will be able to implement good tactics with this really good squad. Only time will tell. But I am honestly very skeptical.

Bayern Munich who failed this season of course they will try to rise by buying some new players who can restore their status as the rulers of the Bundesliga, indeed currently Kompany is an inexperienced coach, but to be honest we don't know what he can do later to restore Bayer Munich dominance in the league, besides that we also used to think of Alonso as an inexperienced coach but can actually bring Leverkusen It's been great this season, so maybe Kompany will be able to do that in the future as well.

I am a little doubtful about the status of their coach because as far as I can see Kompany has not shown his best abilities at the club he previously held. Being the coach of a big club like Bayern Munich definitely comes with a lot of pressure, especially as there are lots of star players, so Kompany's job will be much more difficult. Other pressures from fans and management will definitely demand more where he must be able to provide the best for the club.

Xabi Alonso doesn't have much freedom because he already knows the player's character and he also understands the condition of the player he can rely on. Leverkusen is still Bayern Munich's competitor next season and I am quite sure that Xabi Alonso is far superior to Kompany in terms of tactics and strategy.

At the end of the day, can we actually not say that it is a fair battle between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich? Think about it, Leverkusen does not have a great squad like Bayern Munich. But they have a great coach. On the other hand, the coach of Bayern Munich is not someone who has proven himself in the past. But they have a very good squad. They have striker Harry Kane, who was the highest scorer in the Bundesliga in this season. So I think actually that advantage is with Bayern Munich. Problem is they are just inconsistent even against weak opponents. And it does not matter which team or which club it is, if they are inconsistent, they are not winning anything.
