Bayern Munich struggled to find a replacement coach for Thomas Tuchel, more than a little surprising for most, but they finally found and hired Vincent Kompany, entrusting to him a club in absolute shambles. But as of recently, it isn’t looking very good.
The last three games that Bayern has played has ended in either a draw or a loss, neither of which are optimal results. Granted, three games is too little to say anything, and the team is not in complete free fall (..yet), but the critics are already piping up.
Bayern Munich has informed the world to rest assured that they have put their complete trust in Kompany’s abilities, coaching abilities, and general game intelligence. Not just the board, Kompany enjoys the support of the squad too. According to a report by Frank Linkesch (captured by @iMiaSanMia), Thomas Müller, despite seeing game time so little, is openly supportive of the Belgian coach’s playing style and tactical prowess. Uli Hoeneß has sided with Müller’s opinion too.
After finally settling on Kompany, Bayern Munich spoke to Pep Guardiola to get his honest opinion on the Spaniards former protege. Despite being criticized for overdoing his praise of footballers, it is believed that Guardiola conveys his honest and genuine opinion in internal communications. And the former Bayern coach had nothing but good words to say about Kompany.
