I'm thinking of Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Thomas Tuchel at first, and also Oliver Glasner, who would have come had Crystal Palace released him. Vincent was Max Eberl's idea. The first meeting took place at restaurant, with Herbert Hainer, Max, Christoph Freund, Vincent, and his father, a former mayor in Belgium.

"Bayern had to go through a tedious process to find replacement of Tuchel. The Bavarian club was also considering the idea of keeping Tuchel for one more season. However, the German coach decided against staying for one more season. Die Roten eventually made their move for Burnley and sealed the deal in no time."
Bayern Munich has impressed rival clubs and fans with their performances this season, especially after a strong start in 2026. They secured a quarter-final spot in the Champions League with a 10-2 victory over Atalanta. Under coach Vincent Kompany, who joined from Burnley in 2023, the team has played high-intensity football and is close to breaking the record for most goals in a Bundesliga season. Initially met with skepticism, Kompany has proven his worth by leading Bayern to regain the Bundesliga title.
