New Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany wants his side to be brave on the ball, have personality and be aggressive after his appointment was confirmed on May 29. Kompany’s appointment ended a long search for Bayern, who were looking to replace Thomas Tuchel after the German had left the club at the end of last season. Kompany was a surprise apppointment as he had faced relegation with Burnley in the Premier League during the 2023/24 season.
Speaking at the press conference after his appointment, Kompany said that he wants the side to be absolutely brave and aggressive when they have the ball and he wants them to carry it throughout the game as well.
“I want the players of Bayern to be really brave on the ball, to have personality. I want the team to be aggressive, to represent those two things,” Kompany said.
“Absolutely brave when they have the ball and make a decision and absolutely aggressive, something they carry every minute of the game. Always,” said Kompany.
What Kompany will give Bayern?
Kompany said that he will keep things simple as a coach and he wants to just give everything to win in the end.
“For my side it is simple. What you coach is who you are as a person,” Kompany told a news conference on Thursday.
“My personality is I grew I grew up on the streets of Brussels, I was in the academy of Anderlecht where from the age of six to 20 you have to win everything.”
Kompany said that he will bring in a clear vision to the team and will implement it.
“I coached one of the youngest teams in Belgium and one of the smallest teams in England. What I bring to the table are things that will help the players to improve. I have a clear vision and will also implement it here in Germany,” said Kompany.
The Belgian’s immediate aim next season will be to ensure Bayern get back to winning the Bundesliga after they relinquished the title to Bayer Leverkusen in the last campaign.
