“Our board has decided to appoint Vincent Kompany as the new head coach. We are in the process of finalizing the details and then it will be official,” said the 68-year-old. “Pep Guardiola also helped us with Kompany, he spoke very highly of Vincent as a talented coach. Pep knows Vincent very well and his opinion is valued.”
Announcement probably on Wednesday
According to reports, Kompany’s signing will be announced on Wednesday. The former Manchester City and Hamburger SV professional is to receive a contract with the German record champions until 2027. The Munich team had already agreed on a transfer fee with Kompany’s current club, Burnley FC. This is said to be between ten and twelve million euros.
Kompany had led Burnley back to the Premier League a year ago, winning the second-tier Championship with ease. However, the club was relegated again in the season just ended.
