Bayern Munich: Company leads the big fresh start after turbulence!

FC Bayern Munich looks back on a moving year 2024. After a Titellosen season 2023/2024, which was the first since 2012, numerous changes took place within the association. The separation from coach Thomas Tuchel led to a turbulent search for coach by sports director Max Eberl, where there were a total of six cancellations. Among the rejected candidates were well -known coaches such as Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Oliver Glasner and Roger Schmidt. Tuchel himself waved off when the club wanted to keep it later.

With Vincent Kompany, a new coach was now hired who had previously trained Burnley in England and led the club to the Premier League and back into the Championship. The 38-year-old signed a three-year contract by June 30, 2027. Kompany succeeded Tuchel, which will be abandoned by mutual agreement at the end of the season 2023/24. The sports director Max Eberl was pleased with the commitment of the former player coach of Anderlecht and emphasized the continuity in the coaching position.

Current situation and outlook

FC Bayern Munich stands for the Christmas break of the Bundesliga with a four -point lead at the top of the table in front of Bayer Leverkusen. Despite severe defeats in the Champions League against Barcelona (1: 4) and Aston Villa (0-1, the team has stabilized and is currently in 10th place, which could enable the direct qualification for the round of 16 this season. The last game of the year ended with a clear 5-1 victory against RB Leipzig, which was a wonderful conclusion of a difficult year designated.

Kompany has a promising career as a player, including ten large titles won at Manchester City, and will place special emphasis on creativity, aggressiveness and teamwork.
