Very similar comparisons tbh.. Lampard had a decent time at Derby, but Chelsea was a jump too far although he did great qualifying the top 4 in his first season with a transfer window ban.

[@thierryhenry674]

There are 3 criteria to make someone a top tactician in modern football. Learn complex tactical ideas from a young age at a tactically extremely sophisticated academy like LaMasia. Did not play kick and rush football in his playing career. So he can develop a tactical mindset to build up step by step in a methodical way. This is the most important one. Played as a DM/CB/GK (a central role at the back) for, or work with PepGuardiola, the greatest tactician in football history who revolutionised modern football. So he gets the opportunity to learn the most advanced, complex and sophisticated tactics in modern football. Capable to divide his tactics into thousands of pieces/details and feed/pre-instruct them into his players. Capable to control every single positioning and movements of his players like playing tactical chess under a microscope.

Moreno is right. It's not about teaching Müller or Kimmich how to kick the ball, it's much more about the general mood in the dressing room, about how Bayern works. I don't know anything about Kompany as a manager, but I know that he will be the very first who speaks all languages of the players perfectly (German, French, English, Dutch) and even some Spanish. I hope the board gives him a fair chance and stands behind him. Some players certainly need a kick in the a$$.

[@SAAmanat]

Burnley had clear pattern of plays. Even when they were losing during the first half of the season the players missed loads of goal scoring opportunities. And Kompany’s football was easy on the eye. The rhetoric that Kompany played under Pep and hence that influences Bayern’s decision is straight from the book of amateur who has says something because there’s nothing else to say as he has done no research. Well done Nedum!

[@mydancinglife730]

Thank you and agreed. You could definitely see what Burnley were trying to do and Kompany knows how to work with players, having played at a very high level himself.

[@keenancerff5359]

I think he’ll do well With the players at his disposal at Bayern, he will shine

[@Delboy0]

People are criticising this move because they only understand it on superficial level of they have hired a coach who got relegated. If Bayern could pick any coach in the world to take over the team it would be Pep Guardiola. He has made it clear he is never going back to Bayern. So then you target a Pep disciple who plays the same way. Arteta and Alonso are not going to join Bayern, so you go for the Pep disciple who is obtainable and has potential to be great and speaks fluent German. Kompany’s style will work better with Bayern players than Burnley players like Jack Cork. It is definitely a risk, but I wouldn’t be surprised if made Bayern win the league.

[@junioradult6219]

It was still atleast there 4th choice

[@FullstackDeveloper-hh9jw]

Exactly. The man may not have been an assistant coach under Pep, but he was Pep's captain for years at City. It is a risky decision, but he won the Championship with 101 points as recently as two seasons ago. Speaks several languages, was a ball playing CB, so he can improve the weakest link of Bayern which is their defense and how they play out from the back. Might fail, might work.

People hating on Kompany are just simple-minded noobs. Xabi Alonso had a very average managerial career with Real Sociedad B before he got appointed as Leverkusen manager. Kompany managed to promote Burnley from the Championship to EPL, whereas Xabi failed to do so with Real Sociedad B. Kompany is actually a good manager, but he just didnt have the resource with Burnley.

[@jascha2765]

Well, the difference is the Pressure. The Entire World will look at Kompany and Bayern and if they lose one Match the Fans will start to riot. They wont give him the Time to do his thing, thats the Difference between Bayern and Leverkusen

[@footballstilllives]

I get you but comparing two people is comparing apples and oranges to me bayern are taking a huge gamble it may work out it may not

[@razbigranicu]

If we are going to criticise Xabi for his failure with Sociedad B team, then we could also say that Sean Dyche managed to get Burnley to European places, where as Kompany got them relegated. But, nobody would actually prefer a dinosaur like Dyche over Kompany, so to discredit Alonso like this is really stupid.

You can't compare Bayern and Leverkusen at all. Leverkusen has a much quieter environment. A trainer can work there in peace. FC Bayern is a completely different world!The environment there is very nervous. The media is merciless and there is a lot of unrest in the club at the moment. Especially because a certain Mr. Hoeneß keeps getting involved. Not a club for young aspiring coaches. My guess is that if Bayern bring Kompany in, he will be fired by the winter break and Eberl with him.

Klopp has said he would never coach Bayern and it is clear Alonso has a preference for Liverpool and Real Madrid over Bayern. That is why they went for a younger coach who could be in the job for a long time. It is a risk but it could pay off Kompany style works better with top players.

Why not? You can only have success at Bayern as a "finished article"? Flick took over as an assistant coach and won 6 trophys in one season, Ancelotti joined Bayern and failed (more or less). The only coach that was expected to work at Bayern and did was Guardiola and even he was criticised cause he couldnt get past the semifinals three times in a row. Jupp Heynckes wasnt expected to have that kind of success, Nagelsmann was. It´s a roll of a dice almost every single time a new coach takes over

They are obviously looking at the style of football Kompany wanted to play at Burnley , but he just didnt have the personnel to execute it in the premier league. I think he may shock a few but yes it does seem like a mad appointment at the moment

[@treyjohnson8557]

This team is pretty stacked. If he can get this offense going then they should be great. Hope so for Kane’s sake.

[@mickealpalmer6252]

I’m happy for him I bet if he do good all of them going to jump on the bandwagon and I think he could help the defense because they can’t defend to save their life

[@rolopolo66]

Madness. He played bad football at Burnley with virtually no plan or structure.

[@josejpadilla5928]

I’m starting to think Kane is a curse for any team he’s on. Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@michailadonis]

Give the guy a break he will do he's best at bayern even though I'm a man united fan I think kompany will do the job he has a great personality and he's a great coach.

[@davidt3956]

I'm seeing this after they've already announced Xavi is gone and Flik is coming. Can't wait to see Ale respond to that.

If it was Eddie Howe or any other English coach am sure ESPN will be more understanding.

[@georgenjoroge6243]

Vincent Kompany needs to get his assistants right. He needs to make sure he hires the right staff similar to what Arteta did. You are only as good as your assitants when you are starting off at big club. I actually think Bayern style of futbol is changing. They will have to be more transitional with Tel, Musiala, Sane, Gnabry and Davies. The days of high pressing, high possession are over. Pep is only to do it because of his deep bench and 4 CBs. I think Bayern will take on the Real Madrid approach of a fusion of styles, which is what Kompany implemented with his squad of Championship players.

[@mickzed6393]

We can laugh at all the rejection. But not many self respecting top managers want a 1 year interim position. We all know who Bayern really wants.

[@michaelwallden7261]

Funny times for Kane, moving to Bayern and connecting with a championship coach.....

[@abdelelazhari9116]

It might work out ppl ...Live and watch 😉...We talking football here . We got remember why we love this beauuuuuuuutiful game ✌️🙏

[@m1234cars]

Bayern have tried to approach everyone including me if kompany says no they will be looking at my 5th grade PE teacher😂

[@Dr.fiddle]

Kompany will eventually become a winner some day but not with this Bayern team. Bayern needs a quick fix, Kompany will be under pressure & it could be all over for them both in 4momths. Unfortunately for Bayern they're not used to being turned down. When the desired is unavailable the available becomes the desired.

[@sunrisesunset1734]

None of these pundits know what's really going on. They seem oblivious to the fact that Bayern are only looking for a temporary 1 year manager right now. Everybody knows that Bayern are waiting for Xabi Alonso or Jurgen Klopp.

Man you are contradicting yourself there. "They seem oblivious...", but "Everybody knows..." ??

Where does kompany’s CV as a manager qualify him for Bayern?
