Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies may or may not be on his way out of the club at the end of this season. But if this is it for the Canadian international, Bayern’s choice of head coach does not sound like one of the reasons.
To the contrary, Davies raves about Kompany and seems to enjoy the tough standards the former Manchester City player has brought as head coach to Munich.
“He is a very brilliant guy,” Davies enthused in comments this month captured by The Athletic (via @iMiaSanMia). “The way that we’re playing now is very intense. He picks the best team and the best players to put on the team that train well. Every training session is a battle for the starting spot. Nothing is guaranteed. The way he talks to the team, he is polite but firm. He has ideas and we’re executing them well.”
Davies may very well be off to Real Madrid — or another deep-pocketed club like Manchester United — next summer. But for now he is enjoying, thriving, and giving his all in Kompany’s Bavarian meritocracy.
