Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund is convinced that Vincent Kompany is the right man for the job in Bavaria.
Through in depth discussion, Freund could see that Kompany had the same vision for Bayern Munich that both Freund and Max Eberl did.
“There was an intensive exchange of ideas about how we want to play football, which players are available and how we want to organize the squad. It’s important that we find a common denominator. The new coach will start with a lot of energy and hunger. It’s a bit of a new start,” Freund said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Freund also said that he wants to see a greater balance in the squad of younger players with older players, while noting that Kompany is the perfect coach to manage that kind of set-up: “He stands for this approach of promoting, developing and integrating young players.”
Hopefully, the young players are ready to step up. After a trophyless campaign in 2023/24, there will not be much tolerance for growing pains in Bavaria next season.
