Bayern Munich announced the appointment of Vincent Kompany as their new coach, signing him to a three-year contract on Wednesday. Despite overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League this season, the 38-year-old Belgian has eagerly accepted the challenge at Bayern.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge at FC Bayern,” Kompany expressed on Wednesday. “As a coach, you have to stand for who you are as a person: I love possessing the ball, being creative, and we also have to be aggressive on the pitch and brave.”
He continued, emphasizing his excitement for the fundamentals of coaching: “I’m now looking forward to the most basic things: working with the players, building a team. When the foundation is in place, success will follow.”
