Bayern Munich's decision to recruit Kompany is actually quite right even though Kompany was not the first priority for Bayern Munich because the management had seen several other players who at that time turned out not to have the willingness to coach Bayern Munich. But Kompany is very willing to coach Bayern Munich and I think his career and performance will be remembered very well if Munich can win the Bundesliga again this season, especially if he is able to bring Munich to the UCL final this season later.
Yes, so far we can still say that Kompany is the right option for Bayern Munich even though at first the management focused more on other names on the candidate list, but I think we will only be able to confirm that Kompany is really the right option only when Bayern Munich succeeds in thwarting Leverkusen in defending the trophy they won last season.
For the beginning of the season, of course, as we saw, Bayern Munich started the season very well without experiencing a single defeat which made them rank at the top of the standings, and if at the end of the season Bayern Munich really can win the title from Leverkusen then of course we will see something surprising again in the Bundesliga like what Xabi Alonso did for Leverkusen last season, we will see whether Kompany will be able to do the same thing as Xabi Alonso did for his squad or not.
Winning trophies is paramount for Bayern Munchen. If they can achieve this in an unbeaten streak, similar to what Leverkusen accomplished, it would be even more impressive. Kompany managerial abilities, once questioned, are now garnering praise from many due to his team consistent performance. This seems reasonable, considering the depth and quality of his squad. Therefore, it is only right they should be able to win 3 points in every match. However, this weekend, Bayern Munchen will be tested by Leverkusen to the limit of their abilities. We know that the match is not a match to determine the champion, but whoever manages to secure full points deserves to be considered a strong candidate to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. Meanwhile, Kompany courage to take over the role left by Tuchel deserves to be appreciated, when 3 other managers reportedly rejected the offer. Kompany success at Bayern Munchen is not solely measured by domestic consistency, their performance in the Champions League belong important points too.
