Vincent Kompany remains coach of FC Bayern – and that’s exactly the right decision. After years full of coaching, the record champion finally needs continuity. This job guarantee is a clear signal: Bavaria stands by his coach and does not relate again on an overhanged solution.
Because the fact is: Company’s work is often worse than it is. Yes, Bayern have not found the perfect football so far. But they are at the top of the table in the Bundesliga, are in the Champions League in the round of 16 and have stabilized after the difficult phase in autumn – in contrast to Manchester City, for example. Anyone who expects Kompany will form a team within a few months who also plays everything internationally on the ground, fails to recognize reality. Success takes time.
Bavaria is no longer the club anymore, where every trainer works immediately. Guardiola, Flick, Tuchel – they all had problems with the internal power structures and a team that was not always easy to lead in the end. Kompany brings new ideas, stood up to change and deserves to be able to implement his vision in the long term. To strengthen his back now, prevents unnecessary unrest and gives the team the security it takes.
And what would be the alternative? Another change of coach? Another expensive fresh start? Bavaria has made too many wrong decisions in recent years. This is finally the right one.
