Kompany is serious about Munich.
European transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday that “Vincent Kompany has informed Burnley of his desire to join FC Bayern. Negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs regarding compensation and everything is in place to reach an agreement soon.”
Kompany is a legendary City defender who spent 12 years at the club. Since 2019, he has been in charge of Anderlecht, where he has been successful. Kompany created the best tactics with limited resources and led the team to a third-place finish in the league.
Then, in 2022, Kompany headed to Burnley in the English second division and proved himself there as well. Burnley had just been relegated and had lost all of their key players, but Kompany brought in all of his favorite players to create a new combination, and it worked.
After a dominant first half of the season with 11 wins, 8 draws, and 2 losses, Kompany’s side never let up in the second half and eventually won promotion within a season with an incredible record of 29 wins, 14 draws, 3 losses, and 101 points.
But the barriers in the Premier League are high. The defensive buildup that had worked in the second tier didn’t work in the Premier League, where the team tries to press forward quickly, and Burnley ended up conceding a lot of goals.
Kompany didn’t make any tactical changes in the second half of the season, and the club was relegated again just a season after finishing 19th in the league. That’s what Munich are after. Discussions have already been held internally and negotiations have moved quickly.
“Bayern Munich are close to finalizing their long-running search for a new manager after agreeing to hire 토토사이트 Burnley’s Vincent Kompany,” reported the British publication The Guardian on March 23rd.
Kompany will bring his backroom staff from his time at Burnley to Munich, including first-team coaches Mike Jackson, Floribert Ngalula and Piet Kremer. Kompany will also bring with him former Manchester City and Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy, who is currently Burnley’s assistant coach.
Munich want Kompany for a variety of reasons. Munich wanted Kompany because there are so many teams looking for a manager at the moment that they don’t have a manager for sale, and the style of play that Kompany has shown at Burnley is a good fit for Munich.
According to Forbes, Burnley had the 12th most possession in the league, the 12th most passes with an average of 432 passes 토토사이트 per game, and the 12th highest passing accuracy. Basically, they were the second-best team in the league at passing the ball around the pitch in the second half of the season. Kompany’s philosophy clearly appealed to Munich.
The biggest variable in Kompany’s appointment is the expensive transfer fee. Burnley want £20 million and Munich don’t want to pay all of it. The two sides continue to coordinate, and with Kompany’s desire to join Munich, an agreement is expected sooner rather than later.
If a deal is agreed, Kompany and Munich will be together until 2027.
