Vincent Komany to succeed Thomas Tuchel
Kompany will succeed Thomas Tuchel, who departed following a season that saw Bayern finish third in the league, a significant 18 points behind champions Bayer Leverkusen. Additionally, Bayern Munich’s campaign ended in the Champions League semi-finals with a defeat to Real Madrid.
Kompany, who retired in 2020, joined Burnley from Anderlecht in 2022 and agreed to a five-year contract extension last year. Kompany has a great reputation from his time at Anderlecht and Burnley, however the Clarets’ relegation despite lofty pre-season hopes has not gone well for the Belgian.
Kompany, the four-time Premier League winner with Manchester City, took over as head coach of Anderlecht in 2020 after serving as player-manager before heading to Turf Moor.
