Follow the team: Kompany s team spirit has spread to the top brass, and he has transformed from a stop-gap to an ideal choice

October 23rd Bayern announced this week that it would renew its contract with coach Kompany in advance until 2029. Bayern team reporter Kerry Hau from Sky Sports Germany wrote an article to comment on the contract extension. He pointed out that the contract extension between the two parties was not only because of the perfect start to the season, but also because Kompany made the club better in many aspects after many years.

Kerry Hau wrote: "Bayern's coaching search process is rarely as chaotic and difficult as in the spring of 2024. Alonso, Rangnick and Nagelsmann all rejected, and Tuchel, who was informed as early as February that he would leave at the end of the season, was not persuaded to stay, and the short-term idea of bringing back Flick failed to materialize."

"Under the new sports director At Eber's insistence, Bayern finally chose Kompany. Many fans and experts believed that Kompany was a stopgap measure. Even within the club, there were some initial concerns because the former Manchester City captain had only coached at Anderlecht and Burnley before, and there was no doubt about Kompany after less than a year. 3}

"After many turbulent years at Sebena Street, the Belgian coach has brought prudence, stability and cohesion. Not only within the team, but also within the entire club. The healthy working atmosphere he spoke of on the day he announced his contract extension is the result of his own performance."

"He is the boss, but he never puts on airs. He always puts the team first. He started from day one. Just understand that the star is the team - not him. Just like in his playing days, he does not take himself too seriously, but treats each other as equals. This is especially reflected in his interactions with players, staff and Sebena Street employees. The same is true for us media representatives. I didn't feel respected or treated fairly during the meeting or interview. Although he has not provided the sensational headlines compared to some of his predecessors, he has also protected his players after poor performances. But it just goes to show that he understands the rules of dealing with the media and knows what a positive impact good communication can have on the entire club. "

"He leaves little room for attack and always speaks clearly, honestly, and fairly on the issues we raise with him. Overall, he made it a priority to focus on the essence, which is football. And because Bayern are also playing their football right, leading the team to a historically strong start to the season with 11 wins in 11 games despite the absence of Musiala and Alphonso Davies, Eberl and he Colleagues have decided to extend the coach's contract, which was due to expire in 2027, for another two years. "

" Kompany's team spirit has now spread to the top brass. There are no longer different camps like there were during the days of Tuchel, Nagelsmann or even Flick. Everyone supports the coach and everyone has faith in the coach and his work with the team. For a club as ambitious as Bayern Munich, Kompany will need more than just the Bundesliga title to maintain this form in the long term. But in the end, positive impressions from day-to-day interactions greatly contributed to the decision to offer him a contract extension. "

" Kompany is Bayern Munich's lucky choice. As Rummenigge said, he is a spiritual leader. And he is no longer a stopgap, but an ideal choice. "
