FC Bayern Munich have appointed former FC Burnley coach Vincent Kompany as their new manager after sacking Thomas Tuchel under whose tenure they finished third after VfB Stuttgart in Bundesliga.

“FC Bayern have confirmed Vincent Kompany as their new head coach. The 38-year-old has agreed a contract with the German record champions through to 30 June 2027.”

Bayern say the 38-year-old Manager is the right person to the lead the team as he was selected after rigourous process.

“All of us at the club agree that Vincent Kompany is the right coach for FC Bayern and we are very much looking forward to working with him…Vincent Kompany represents exactly the togetherness and team spirit that we need.”

The new coach is focused on working with the players and building a team.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge of FC Bayern. It’s a great honour to be able to work for this club – FC Bayern is an institution in international football. As a coach, you have to stand for what you are as a character: I love having the ball, being creative – but we also have to be aggressive and courageous on the pitch. I’m now looking forward to the basics: working with the players, building a team. Once the basis is right, success will follow.”

Kompany replaces Tuchel whose appointment was to run until June 30, 2025.

Ahead of the end of the season, Bayern served notice about their decision to part ways with him over unsatisfactory results.

Thomas Tuchel succeeded Julian Nagelsmann as head coach of Bayern Munich in March 2023.
