Frankly speaking, this record sounds extremely strange considering how Bayern usually dominates the Bundesliga. It is clear that these are specific conditions for setting a record (a new coach does not appear every year), but still.
As for Kompany, it is difficult to judge how good or bad he is - Bayern should take the Bundesliga title in any case, and the quarter-finals of the Champions League are almost nothing to draw conclusions about. Last season, Dortmund were in the final, remaining in 5th place in the Bundesliga.

Time will tell whether Kompany is a good coach or not for Bayern as this is his first season. But it doesn't seem right to say that Kompany hasn't had much of an impact on Bayern when a great coach like Pep was struggling in the Premier League, Slot Ball who was so dominant in the Premier League was eliminated from the Champions League and Bayern beat Leverkusen by a landslide when Xabi was at the peak of his career. IMO
It’s a project. I don’t expect Kompany to win the treble and dominate every opponent in his first year in charge.

What does Pep have to do with this? Grin

Bayern dominates the Bundesliga too much to draw any conclusions about the coach based on its results. By the way, what do you say about the defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League? After all, Bayern used to destroy Barcelona consistently and these were not even close to competitive games. This year, Bayern suffered a collapse against Barcelona. Have you forgotten this or just don’t want to take it into account?

It seems I've used the wrong example to illustrate what I meant

I was too excited when I saw Bayern's performance after a poor season under Tuchel last season but wouldn’t this season be extra difficult after finishing third and a new coach with the expectation to win the league despite having limited experience compared to other coaches?
I know Kompany's performances haven't been perfect and I'm not saying he's a world-class coach, but given what he's achieved so far, he deserves to be appreciated.
