"One year too many"
Kompany? Bayern legend puts the pressure on
According to Munich supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, new Bayern coach Vincent Kompany will not be given a long grace period. "I wish him every success, because if you don't win a title in one year as Bayern Munich, it's already one year too many," said the former Bayern CEO at a managers' conference in Bielefeld.
Kompany had signed a three-year contract with the German record champions after a turbulent coaching search.
Rummenigge was rather reserved about the 38-year-old Belgian, whom he had not yet met. Sports director Max Eberl is "convinced by this relatively young and not very experienced man", said Rummenigge. "I think he has the right philosophy. I asked Pep Guardiola, who had him as a player for a long time. He said he is convinced that he is an exciting coach," added the 68-year-old.
Chaotic coach search
Bayern had caused a stir for weeks with a sometimes chaotic search for a coach. First, the preferred candidates Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann and Ralf Rangnick, among others, had turned down the job. Oliver Glasner from Upper Austria was also unavailable. Then the attempt to reverse the termination of the contract with Thomas Tuchel, which had already been agreed in February, also failed. In the end, Kompany was signed by relegated Premier League side Burnley.
