"He started his career young and was also a player-coach, so he knows all about how modern football is played. He leaves nothing to chance and he is very clear, which makes him appear very confident and dominant. His aim is always to give us what we need to succeed, but he's also open to conversations and input from the team."
"He puts an arm around the players when needed and he checks how the injured players are getting on with their rehab. He has a lot on his plate and as we just discussed, he does the media work very well as well. As a young coach here at Bayern, there are a lot of positive things to report about him."
Vincent Kompany emerged quickly as Bayern Munich's head coach after a recent, difficult Burnley season that ended in relegation. His history as a top-level player at Manchester City gives him credibility and a close understanding of current players' experiences. He began coaching young and served in player-coach roles, which informs a modern tactical approach. Kompany is exacting and clear in preparation, appears confident and dominant, and balances authority with openness to player input. He supports player welfare, checks injured players' rehabilitation, handles media duties well, and brings valuable leadership qualities that may benefit Bayern's future.
