"“He has to be a team player and a team builder. And he has to have a very high level of social competence. Vincent Kompany has that - Jupp Heynckes and Ottmar Hitzfeld had it too, and in a broader sense, so did Udo Lattek and Giovanni Trapattoni. The great coaches were the ones who looked beyond the confines of football and were interested in everyday life,” Hoeneß said in remarks captured by Frankfurter Allgemeine (via @iMiaSanMia)."
"“If you go to dinner with Vincent Kompany today, you'll get into a lot of talk. Did you hear how he recently addressed the issue of racism at a press conference? And he was unprepared for the question.”"
"Clearly, Kompany is in good company among Bayern's coaching greats - and he appears to stand alone among recent appointees in the eyes of Hoeneß."
Vincent Kompany is praised for being a team player and a team builder with very high social competence. His leadership qualities are compared to Bayern coaching greats such as Jupp Heynckes and Ottmar Hitzfeld, and more broadly to Udo Lattek and Giovanni Trapattoni. The leadership standard is described as extending beyond football and focusing on everyday life. Kompany is also noted for engaging with social issues, including how he addressed racism at a press conference and responded to questions. Bayern leadership is framed as about more than on-field performance and more than sport itself.
