The end of the weeks-long search for a coach at FC Bayern is in sight. According to a report, the Munich team has reached an agreement with Vincent Kompany and his club. There is still one last step missing.
According to a media report, FC Bayern is close to signing coach Vincent Kompany. All that is missing is the signature of the 38-year-old Belgian, as TV broadcaster Sky reported.
According to reports, the Bundesliga football club has agreed on a transfer fee with Kompany’s previous club, Burnley FC, which is said to be between ten and twelve million euros. The former Manchester City and Hamburger SV professional is set to receive a contract with the German record champions until 2027.
Several media outlets had previously reported that an agreement between all parties was expected soon. Kompany was relegated from the Premier League with Burnley this season, after having previously led the club to promotion with ease. The former defender began his coaching career at RSC Anderlecht. He led the struggling Belgian record champions to third place twice.
For Bayern, signing the former Belgian international would bring to an end a long search that the public was able to follow in detail. After the announced separation from Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, national coach Julian Nagelsmann and Austrian national coach Ralf Rangnick all declined. A signing of former Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner also did not materialize. Roger Schmidt from Benfica Lisbon also declined, and recent efforts to keep Tuchel on have also failed.
