"Courtesy of the success on the pitch in the last 18 months, Bayern Munich have rewarded Vincent Kompany with a contract extension. The Belgian coach signed a new deal until 2029 on Tuesday. His previous deal was set to expire in 2027. Kompany had no hesitation in signing a new deal once the club approached him, as he feels settled in Bavaria and believes in the club's sporting project."
"Having said that, Kompany had also helped Burnley to win the Championship by a canter in the previous campaign. Despite implementing an expansive style of football at Burnley, managing the first team at Bayern is altogether a different ball game. Moreover, Kompany was not in Bayern's list of top five coaches they were targeting to replace Tuchel. Bayern missed out on several targets before settling down with the appointment of Kompany."
Vincent Kompany took over as Bayern Munich head coach at the end of the 2023/24 campaign following Thomas Tuchel's departure. Bayern regained the Bundesliga title last season after losing it to Bayer Leverkusen in 2023/24. Kompany's arrival triggered tactical improvements, notably in Champions League performances over the following 12 months. The club rewarded on-field success by offering Kompany a contract extension through 2029, replacing his previous 2027 expiry. Kompany accepted the new deal quickly, citing feeling settled in Bavaria and belief in the club's sporting project. Initial scepticism cited his Burnley relegation despite prior Championship success, but he delivered attractive football and strong results.
