Kompany to Munich

That club looks like its heading down the toilet ffs

Signing Eric Dier and now this. Kane will never live it down if he somehow failed to win a bundesliga.

So Kompany takes over a decent club for the championship and as half expected gets them back in the league. Plays horrendous for the whole season refusing to change style and gets relegated.

Somehow this is good enough for one of Europes historic clubs?

A big mistake! Too inexperienced, and too soon. But, the club is the making of its own destiny. Why did Mr Tuchel go? Not appreciated or something else?

Bellamy is a number 2

Poor man's Roberto Martinez

A club long since regarded as one of the few sensibly run organizations in the game, has, pretty much overnight, turned into a basket case.

They chose Kompany because they knew he wouldn't turn them down, everyone else has and don't think they can face any more embarrassment, why Tuchel is going though idk, maybe because like all the rest, he doesn't want players forced onto him, which maybe their structure with a sporting director deciding who comes and who goes

do u speak German ? Yes.  When can you start ?

Bayern have (At least since the early 90s) historically always followed this model (Coach coaches & DOF/Scouting division recruit players).  You don't know why Tuchel is leaving? The fact they won the bundesliga the past 11 seasons and now end up 18 pts third.....Yeah I wonder why

If you're simple you would think that, but look deeper and you would realise player power tends to rule at Bayern, Ancelotti was sacked after a year after just winning the cup on penalties, both him and Tuchel apparently didn't see eye to eye with certain players, the Bayern president confirming that about the former, Tuchel apparently fell out with Kimmich, Leverkusen obviously had a freak season and Bayern obviously have problems higher up, hence key figures such as Salihamidžić and Khan were both sacked, Nagelmann was sacked after being just 1 point behind Dortmund in March, and in the CL Quarter finals. They have sacked Tuchel and replaced him with a novice who's just been relegated with Burnley, so the reason they sacked Tuchl because they didn't win the title this year doesn't add up, Kompany has no track record of winning anything as a manager whatsoever.

Has to be the most bizarre appointment since AFC appointed their physio Bertie Mee to be manager.
He did do the double though.

Bizarre decision. Kompany has nothing to prove that he's a fit for a job at this level. Harry Kane must be seething.

Good luck to him but if he doesn`t win the league, he`ll need to change his first name to Parting.

Xavi Alonso, Arteta and Kompany have all learned under Pep and the first two are considered top level now. Bayern are going the Arsenal/Leverkusen route and taking a bit of a risk and hoping it pays off. Not bizarre to me, risky yes, as Arteta was for Arsenal, but there is some logic to it. Doubt he was their first choice tho.

Ten Haag also learned under Pep.

Not sure how much ETH learned under Pep compared to the others. He didn't play under him and was manager of Bayern's second team, so not sure how much he worked day to day with Pep like the others did, probably a lot less or not much at all.

Total nonsense from the forum brains trust. Exactly as Lurka has explained.

They don't call you ragingQueen for no reason

Ten Hag has pleasantly described being able to work close to Guardiola as “winning the lottery” in his coaching education

for 2 years they were at the same club, whilst not a disciple, or working day to day with him, he said he studied his training sessions

Yeah, it does seem a bit premature I think, but good luck to him I say.
And who is to say that he won't be a huge success ?

Pep has the resources of a cheating oil state behind him.

Someone said the deal had been pulled - so I checked the market.

Not odds on anymore- in fact no real market at all!

1.01 to back and 1.99 to lay so still odds on. Very little liquidity and huge spreads though.

1.02 currently

confirmed

Contract to 2027

well this is going to be interesting

Indeed Dragon, brave move by BM. Could go either way.

5 wins all season lol

You'd have to wonder what someone like Thomas Muller thinks of this. Won everything to offer and no gets coached by an habitual bottler in the CL. One who showed he was ok to win a PL but rag average above that level.

Only 4 seasons he completed more than 30 league games

BM will have been watching Kompany and will have interviewed him. I imagine they think they're getting the next Pep.

Looks like older managers who want say in transfers do not want to work for Bayern, so they're forced to take on novices, Bayern might not be a force in Europe for a few years to come, Kane went there at the wrong time.

Kane wanted to go to Celtic but the board said no... we want to keep winning trophies.

Chelsea gone a similar route with Maresca

Treating Pep like Galileo.

TBF Pep has had a lot of influence on the way the game is played.

not for the best imvho- and he has done it all with very rich clubs and world class squads
