Given that Kompany was like the 5th or 6th candidate approached(including an attempt to rehire Tuchel after firing him), I think we need to account the bad reputations of club hierarchy causing too much stress and having too much control.
Kompany got the job because a bunch of more qualified managers were asked and turned it down because it’s over-demanding for the tools at the disposal. Plus having people “above you” constantly criticizing you to your face, your team and the media sounds like a daily headache. The cat is out of the bag. Unless things change at Bayern, top coaches won’t want to be there anytime soon.
To get relegated to 2nd division.
i miss the old tifo
Because he just relegated a team
Some of the German players say that their national team lost their style because they tried to copy the high possession, slow build up style from Guardiola. Is the same going to happen to Bayern?
They wanted a coach they can sack easily
This sounds bad in every way. They should’ve brought nagoeesmann back
Burnley? Let me laugh, all Managers from the PL would have problems with Burnley …
As a City fan, I hope that Vincent Kompany lot of success, experience and maturity.. because after Bayern, I hope he will come back home and managed City.. Just remember all the media and other clubs fans that mocked him right now.. They forget that even Xabi Alonso has similar story like Kompany where he brings Real Sociedad B team to promotion and then relegation.. just like Kompany with Burnley
Diego ❤
Everyone's criticizing kompany"s job at burnley except burnley fans, make that make sense
One of the worst decisions
It’s also no surprise that teams with most possession are at the top of the win %
Why is VSauce explaining football
Sean Dyche had a better time at Burnley, but didn't get a job at Bayern. The double standards.
PSG being a possession team is a joke man 😂😂
Since Pep left Bayern, no Bayern manager has lasted more than a full season. So it’s pretty clear managers don’t wants to manage Bayern for this very reason.
How did they win the war
So in short they think championship equal to Bundesliga 🐧🐧🐧
To the question:
Because they had no other option, because Uli Hoeness made it hard for Eberl to find the right coach.
Vsauce !?
People keep talking about how Vinny got a team relegated. But so did Xavi Alonso before joining Bayern.
Bayern Munich just want a young manager that plays similar to xavi and has experience under the greatest manager to ever exist.
Not a bad idea tbf only problem is Vinny will 100% walk away if the city job is on the table
it is more likely for harry kane might retire without winning a league title..😂😂😂
115 State FC buy meaningless trinkets. Another tainted player.
I hope he's successful but it is a risk
Bcz Bayern want to make sure Kane will always keep his record. The Greatest No Trophy striker ever
Vsauce
Why Bayern is doing Kane like that?! I mean c'mon guys 😂
True but apparently it didn't work so well in UCL Also it helps to win in premier league if you can break laws like city have done of spending More than what's allowed to every season so basically they have unlimited budget since they don't need to follow the laws lol that's City has 115 charge's and it Will keep increasing and fifa or premier league won't do anything about it
There is something just wrong about this 'attractive' football at all costs mentality. Can anyone name a team that didn't have Pep that it has worked for?
Possession football has NEVER worked for Germany , especially with German origin players.
Germany have their own way of playing , I just don't know why everyone so obsessed with posession football.
Just tells you how Ancelotti is so underrated.
He is a flop as a manager
There are at least, 100 better managers on europe than kompany
Can t believe this 🤦
shorter version: desperation
Bayern are just buying time for a good manager to come along
HATE the fact Tifo IRL no longer discusses these stories or offers analysis Post-match but instead just advertises athletic articles.
“Here’s something really interesting, oh sorry it’s only a YouTube short, buy a subscription and read a boring article to see the rest”
This channel has turned into gate keeping weirdo’s obsessed with increasing subscriptions. Cringe and pathetic.
The answer to why they want him is that the 8 other managers rejected them.
He’ll be sacked by November
Tottenham have 62% possession??
Wow, I feel like it hasn’t been that long since they were purely a counterattacking team.
Poor Harry Kane..southgate and now Kompany..
He's good Company to have
Everbody rejected bayern😂
That Maradona shirt 10/10
lol, what a fraud. Frank Lampard 2.0
Kompany will do well.
You win some you lose some, there’s always gonna be risks with managerial appointments
In the time of DEI one could explain this very easily… Yet we choose random reasons that make no sense, like his capability.
