The appointment is for a three-year term.
After Thomas Tuchel left at the end of the season, the 38-year-old takes his position. Bayern and Burnley agreed to a compensation price of about £10.2 million in order to appoint Kompany. Despite having a difficult season at Turf Moor following the Clarets’ instant relegation from the Premier League to the Championship, the Belgian has decided to join the team.However, the former captain of Manchester City speaks German fluently and has experience in the Bundesliga from his time playing at Hamburg.
After several attempts to find Tuchel’s replacement, including rejections from Austria coach Ralf Rangnick, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann, and head coach of Bayer Leverkusen Xabi Alonso, Bayern brought in Kompany.
After leading Burnley to the Championship title in 2023 during his two seasons in command, Kompany, who started his managerial career at Anderlecht, is leaving the team. “We can confirm that Burnley Football Club has reached an agreement that will allow Vincent Kompany to depart Turf Moor,” a Burnley statement said.Although at first we were optimistic that we could keep our manager, the way things were going changed that made that impossible.
“We respect Vincent’s desire to investigate new options and acknowledge the appeal and prestige of a club like Bayern Munich.”Vincent has our best wishes and our sincere gratitude for his commitment to this football club each and every day that he was a member. Our first objective is still maintaining Burnley FC’s stability and success, and we will keep doing all in our power to make sure that our goal—a return to the Premier League—is achieved.”We will soon make an announcement after we begin the search for a new management.”
After the German powerhouses had their first trophy-free season in twelve years, Kompany, a four-time Premier League winner while playing for Manchester City, will try to find his winning formula again at Bayern. He stated on the team’s official website: “I am excited about FC Bayern’s task. Being able to work for FC Bayern, an institution in world football, is a wonderful honor.
