Former Manchester City captain and Belgian international, Vincent Kompany, has officially taken up the managerial role at FC Bayern Munich. Kompany expressed his enthusiasm about the challenges ahead and outlined his vision for the team’s playing style under his leadership.
Kompany’s Vision for Bayern
In his first statements since taking over, Kompany highlighted the core principles he plans to instill in the squad. “As a coach, you have to stand for who you are as a person: I love having possession of the ball, being creative and we also have to be aggressive on the pitch and brave,” Kompany stated. His approach suggests a dynamic and proactive style of football, aiming to dominate games through ball possession and creativity, while not shying away from the physical aspects of the game.
Looking Forward to the Challenge
Kompany conveyed his anticipation for the role, emphasizing his readiness to tackle the responsibilities that come with managing a high-profile club like FC Bayern Munich. “I’m now looking forward to the most,” he noted, indicating his eagerness to embark on this new chapter in his career. His arrival at Bayern marks a significant step, as he brings a wealth of experience both as a former top-level player and as a coach.
Kompany’s tenure at Manchester City as a player was marked by numerous successes, and he later transitioned into management with spells at other clubs before joining Bayern. His deep understanding of the game and his leadership qualities are expected to be key assets in his new role.
