Vincent Kompany has won his first big title as a coach of FC Bayern Munich. Despite some setbacks, he remains popular with both players and managers due to his zeal for work and his calm manner.
Shortly after Vincent Kompany started his new work as a trainer in Munich, he formulated two rather ambitious goals. “We want to win every game,” said Kompany and said that he wanted “four, five, six or six or seven years” to remain coach at Bayern. In the latter statement, some journalists present broke out in laughter.
First big title in Kompanys Coaching career
A coach that can last long on the shaky coaching chair at FC Bayern was difficult to imagine at that time. While Kompany was very close to his goal of winning all games in the Bundesliga (only two defeats), he was in DFB Cup (in the round of 16) And in the Champions League (in the quarter -finals) Far from reaching your own and the club goals.
For Kompany it is the first big title in his coaching career. A milestone for the Belgian. The ambitious trainer will not be satisfied with this yield, as will the rest of those responsible in Munich. Nevertheless, Kompany is currently in the saddle safely because he has developed the backing in the club.
Kompany rest pole: none Press conferences “About what Hoeneß said”
Not only the offensive playing style is responsible for this positive view of the FC Bayern coach. Company’s work setting was often emphasized. And also the calm and relaxed way with which Kompany appears at the FC Bayern press conferences, which is known to produce debates of nationwide interest in the weekly rhythm, has calmed down the association somewhat.
Kompany made it clear early that excitement topics did not fall into his area of responsibility, which shows that he understood this club shortly after his arrival: “I will not lead the press conference about what Uli Hoeneß said,” said Kompany and thus saved himself to be careless statements and therefore trouble.
Kane & Co. are behind Kompany: “Has set standards”
But Kompany has support not only in the club tour, but also in the cabin. Whether Gnabry, who praised Kompany’s “clear line”, or Kane, who was impressed by the young coach, both are convinced of him: “He reads the game really well,” said the striker star and put one more on it: “He sets standards. He is no fear of calling things by name”, which means that he deserves respect for the player.
Particularly important in this honest criticism: it always stays internally. Kompany emphasized early, he says no negative word about his players. Most recently, this backing Min-Jae Kim felt after the end in the Champions League. An approach that is well received in the cabin: “He does that very, very clever. Especially in public relations. That brings us a lot that we can concentrate on ourselves and our performance,” praised Joshua Kimmich after the victory against Heidenheim.
Company’s long -term dream at FC Bayern
Kimmich sees this as one of the causes of the positive atmosphere in the FC Bavaria cabin, which, according to his own statements, he has not yet experienced in his time with the record champions: “I had the feeling that we are more established. I have been flown out of the Champions League in the past ten years, so I often had the feeling that we show ourselves and show our fingers. Nobody has been looking for someone in the past few days. “
Company is in shaping a team. Further consolidating the team structure will perhaps the most important task in the second season of the 39 -year -old – of course in addition to the goal that FC Bayern always comes first: win titles. If possible, everyone. The ambitious Kompany also targeted the victory of the Champions League. That would bring him closer to his postulated goal, a long term in Munich.
