CONFIRMED: Goodbye Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich is contacting former Man City player Vincent Kompany

Vincent Kompany was suddenly contacted by Bayern, despite having to be relegated with Burnley.

Bayern suddenly targeted Kompany to replace Tuchel

 

Vincent Kompany, 38 years old, brought Burnley to the English First Division championship in his first season in charge (2022/23). However, Burnley’s return to the Premier League was not successful as they were relegated after only 1 season.

However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, this failure does not prevent some big teams from being interested in the Man City legend. One of them is Bayern, who have “internally discussed Kompany” as a replacement for departing coach Thomas Tuchel.

This means that the Belgian strategist can jump from the English First Division to the Champions League next season. Romano also said Brighton, who are looking to replace Roberto De Zerbi, are also interested in Kompany.

As a result of Bayern’s inability to persuade a number of top targets to join the club, the club is having trouble identifying a suitable replacement for Tuchel. Former Bayern Munich player Xabi Alonso was initially seen to be the most qualified contender for the vacant position at Allianz Arena; nevertheless, he ultimately chose to remain at Bayer Leverkusen over other potential candidates. Additionally, Alonso declined the opportunity to take over for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool during his time there.

Not only that, but the offer from the Bundesliga behemoth was also turned down by the coach of Aston Villa, Unai Emery, as well as the interim coach of Manchester United, Ralf Rangnick. Even the head coach of Germany, Julian Nagelsmann, and the head coach of Benfica, Roger Schmidt, have expressed no interest in taking over Bayern.

Additionally, Bayern made touch with De Zerbi; but, the Italian tactician did not wish to relocate to the Allianz Arena. Instead, he is looking forward to taking some time off before making a decision on his next employment.v.
