A factor in the possible contract extension could also be the long-term stay of Kompany, about whom Hainer raved: “Vincent is an identity magnet – he understood FC Bayern straight away, and the players rally behind him because they believe in him.”
This year’s members’ meeting was held to mark the club’s birthday under the motto “125 years of FC Bayern: Born from dreams. Shaped by legends. Ready for the future”.
He had already been asked what he wanted in this case in an internal interview with the club. Hainer then said: “I’ve been a fan of this club ever since I saw Franz Beckenbauer play. I wish FC Bayern always remains a club that reads the game and recognizes spaces that others don’t see. And that it continues to be shaped by the spirit that has characterized it for 125 years.”
