Vincent Kompany speaks excellent German, a point that also appealed to Bayern. While not a prerequisite for managerial candidates, they felt that would help a new coach to build a rapport with the local media.
Bayern did not want to appoint a non-German speaker with a large coaching staff and risk building, in effect, a club within a club. Bayern want a familial atmosphere.
Kompany's lingual abilities were just a part of the overall package that led the Bavarians to bring him. It is a massive help and should help him get acclimated to his new, high-profile gig.
