⁠Bayern Munich Appoints Vincent Kompany as New Head Coach

Bayern Munich have appointed Vincent Kompany as their new head coach on a three-year deal.

The Belgian succeeds Thomas Tuchel and leaves Burnley for the Bundesliga side after the two clubs agreed a compensation fee, believed to be £10.2 million.

Kompany won the Championship with Burnley in 2022-23, but the Clarets suffered relegation from the English Premier League this season after finishing 19th.

Kompany, who retired from playing in 2020, joined Burnley from Anderlecht in 2022 and signed a five-year contract extension last year.

He says he’ll bring his own football philosophy to the club.

There has been no announcement about whether Kompany’s backroom team, including assistant manager Craig Bellamy, will join him in Germany.
