Story

Bayern Munich agreed to pay £10.2 million to Burnley for Vincent Kompany to be their new manager. This happened because Bayern needed a new manager after Thomas Tuchel left. Tuchel couldn't win any trophies and talks to keep him on failed. Bayern chose Kompany as their new boss after considering other options like Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick. Kompany managed Anderlecht and then Burnley, leading them to promotion from the Championship but couldn't avoid relegation from the Premier League. Bayern Munich signed a three-year deal with Vincent Kompany for him to be their new head coach. They paid £10.2 million to Burnley for the 38-year-old. Kompany impressed with his coaching at Burnley, turning them into an attacking team and promoting them to the Premier League. However, Burnley's lack of reinforcements led to their relegation. Allowing Kompany to leave quickly gives Burnley time to find a new manager for their next promotion campaign. Kompany's appointment as Bayern Munich's manager surprised many, but some believe his coaching style could work well at the top level. Kompany doesn't have as much coaching experience as previous Bayern managers, but his methods might suit the team. Bayern Munich faced challenges finding a new manager, but they hope Kompany can lead them to success despite his limited experience compared to previous managers.
