If I should judge Kompany based on his career records, he is not a bad coach. At the same time, he is not a good coach, so from my perspective, I view him as an average coach. Honestly, I was surprised that Bayern Munich chose Kompany as head coach because, based on his record, I don't believe he deserves the position he holds at Bayern Munich now. I can't yet conclude on his performance at Bayern Munich, but I don't expect any great performances from the team under Kompany as coach.

I remember how Chelsea made mistakes by signing Lampard as head coach, and nothing good came of it. I just hope the case of Kompany does not turn out like Lampard's tenure at Chelsea. In my view, Bayern Munich might be too big for someone like Kompany to coach. However, he does have a good squad at his disposal, which could help him perform better.

Everyone was surprised to see Vincent Kompany joining Bayern because he was the Burnley boss. The thing is, on paper, Kompany seems like an average manager, and calling him average won’t be anyone’s fault, as he doesn’t have anything that he won to show for it to be called a good manager.
But football is way beyond trophies and wins, and I think that was the main reason why Bayern went for Kompany. He has played a good amount of years at City and knows the game inside out. He has Pep’s doctrine inside him, and his footballing philosophy and tactics are much similar to Guardiola's as well.

Bayern went for a young energetic manager as this current era of football is seeing a lot of shifts to young coaches. This might be beneficial, or this might backfire too. Who knows?

Apart from looking at Kompany age as a young manager, Bayern also consider that Kompany has quality, it's just that at Burnley Kompany didn't have good squad depth. Meanwhile at Bayern, Kompany has a number of world-class players, who can increase their chances of winning every week. Honestly, if you look at the composition of Bayern current players, there is no excessive concern about their chances of winning a trophy next season. Kompany just needs to be given the time and full support to do his job well.

Meanwhile, without underestimating Leverkusen, Xabi fleet will not necessarily be able to repeat an impressive season like last season, it could be that next season a club like Dortmund, Stuttgart or Leipzig will succeed in lifting the trophy. There are many possibilities that could happen, and Kompany certainly understands the risks he will take if he fails to meet expectations. The preparations and adjustments that Kompany is currently making are quite good, the opportunity to bring Bayern back to dominating the Bundesliga next season is very open.
