As usual, Kompany will get praise when Bayern Munich wins and will get criticism when they lose, it has become a tradition in football. It is difficult to find a concrete reason why Bayern Munich management is so brave to appoint Kompany as Thomas Tuchel replacement, what is clear is that they do not want to get rejection from the targeted manager again. For Kompany, becoming Bayern Munich manager is a leap in his career, and he must understand very well what is at stake. His job will never be easy because he has to conquer the Bundesliga and the Champions League, that is the target set by management every season. If Kompany is able to record good results at the start of the season, then the journey ahead will be easier. I think Kompany will prioritise the Bundesliga trophy in his first season, and that looks more realistic to achieve.
Kompany does not yet have sufficient experience in managing a big team and this season is his first season coaching a big team and of course he will have a lot of work to do. I think he should be able to bring Bayern Munich to become champions because that will increase management's confidence in continuing to believe in him for a long time.
But if he fails to bring Bayern Munich to a trophy this season, of course his position will be quite vulnerable to being fired.
Indeed, defeat is not something he wants, but the work of bringing the team to always win is not an easy thing, but he can balance it match by match. Of course, the first thing that Kompany must achieve is to gain full trust from the fans because fans can always make the situation on the pitch change for the better. The players get support and the coach gets support so the game will be better to continue looking for victory.
