Kompany's revolution: This is how the Bayern coach is reshaping the offensive!
FC Bayern Munich has hired a new coach, Vincent Kompany, after Thomas Tuchel will no longer be on the sidelines. The Belgian football star and former central defender signed a contract until June 30, 2027. His previous job as head coach of Burnley FC, where he led the club back to the Premier League, brought him some success, but also the challenge of gaining the necessary experience at the highest European level. How bundesliga.de reported, the move is seen as bold but promising for the club's future.
Play style and tactics
Kompany's philosophy as a coach is to focus on attacking play, which can be clearly seen in his statistics. Under his leadership, FC Bayern achieved an average of 73 percent ball possession, which is reminiscent of the best times under Pep Guardiola. Instead of just acting defensively, Kompany pushes his players to adopt an aggressive pressing strategy. The Belgian often has his team defend 40 meters in front of the opponent's goal in order to nip opposing attacks in the bud. This offensive orientation has brought the German record champions 66 goals so far this season Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported.
The teamwork has already improved significantly under Kompany, especially the performance of central defenders Min-jae Kim and Dayot Upamecano. Instead of the previously criticized insecurities, both players now seem to be more stable and have contributed to Bayern only conceding ten goals in the current Bundesliga season. Kompany's approach of strengthening the defensive strategy while promoting the offense suggests that he was influenced by the successful approach of his time at Manchester City.
Amid a relatively harmonious atmosphere that Kompany has established at the club, the players, including Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané, are also confident in his training methods. It remains to be seen whether Kompany can live up to the high expectations and whether he will be able to realize the dream of winning the Champions League, which is still open to many Bayern fans, next season.
