"The 39-year-old Belgian led Bayern to the Bundesliga title last season and has won 49 of his 67 games across all competitions. "I'm grateful, honoured and would like to thank Bayern for the trust and the working environment they've given me from day one," Kompany said. "It feels like I've been here a lot longer and that I know the club well. It's been a great experience so far. "We've started on a wonderful journey. Let's keep working hard and celebrate much more success.""
""The contract extension with Vincent Kompany is a strong vote of confidence from the club after the great job he's done up to now, as well as a clear sign for continuity and stability at Bayern," club president Herbert Hainer said. "Vincent is held in high regard by the players, the club management and the fans. We're happy about the early extension of our cooperation.""
"Kompany made his name during a trophy-laden playing career with Manchester City - captaining the side and making 360 appearances and winning four Premier League titles. The defender secured his first role in the dugout as a player-manager with boyhood club Anderlecht in 2019 and took on the position full time in 2020 after announcing his retirement from playing. He led the Belgian club to two league titles before being appointed Burnley manager in 2022."
Vincent Kompany signed a two-year extension with Bayern Munich that keeps him at the club until June 2029 after taking charge in May 2024. The 39-year-old Belgian led Bayern to the Bundesliga title last season and has recorded 49 wins in 67 matches across all competitions. Bayern began the 2025-26 campaign by winning the German Super Cup and sit five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Club president Herbert Hainer described the extension as a vote of confidence and a sign of continuity and stability. Kompany enjoyed a decorated playing career at Manchester City and progressed into management with Anderlecht and Burnley.
