Eberl had a mixed two years in his tenure. His first big task was finding a successor to Thomas Tuchel. Bayern missed out on several first-choice options. Eberl eventually went ahead by hiring Vincent Kompany as the new head coach of Bayern. The Belgian head coach hit the ground running at Die Roten, guiding the club to a Bundesliga title. Eberl has also done well with several transfers like Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and Jonathan Tah.

Kompany can keep up with the trend; wide-legged trousers like these are extremely popular and can be seen on all the catwalks. He fits the style perfectly, he's very contemporary. His looks, his status - everything about Kompany's style just fits. Kompany looks like he could still play himself. He gives the impression that, in terms of style, personality, and understanding of football, he's completely on the same wavelength as his players. He's not like their dad, but like a big brother to them.

But once in a while big transfers are made outside of the plastic clubs. One such example is the free transfer of Edin Džeko to 2. Bundesliga leaders Schalke 04. Under the new sporting management of Frank Baumann, the club have managed to convince the 39-year-old former Manchester City player (and Bundesliga champion with Wolfsburg in 2009) to return to Germany for the first time since leaving Wolfsburg in 2011.

Among tactical implementation, developing players and dealing with the media, keeping a healthy dressing room atmosphere is one of the most important roles for a football manager. Managers can be strong tacticians but a failure to keep the dressing room under control could lead to total collapse-something Vincent Kompany's predecessors, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, learnt the hard way. In contrast, the 39-year-old Belgian manager is capitalizing on his emotional intelligence to find the perfect balance at Bayern Munich.

Sacha Boey is currently sidelined with a severe gastrointestinal problem. But that's only part of the story. Before the illness, Vincent Kompany wasn't entirely happy with Boey. The incident took place on November 8 against Union Berlin. Kompany has a rule, 'Be Ready', meaning he wants his players to be immediately ready with their shinpads, boots, and tapes when he demands a substitution.

But in the final two games of the first half of the campaign in the new year, the Munich men have further underlined their superiority in emphatic fashion and now set an incredible record to boot! With 47 points and a goal difference of +53, head coach Vincent Kompany 's men have completed the best first half of a season in the history of the German top flight.

Ahead of the first competitive match of 2026, head coach Vincent Kompany will share his thoughts on the clash in his regular pre-match press conference.
