"He has a very good future". Emery praised the work of Vincent Kompany on the coaching bridge
Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery assessed the work of Bayern Munich's manager Vincent Kompany ahead of their upcoming clash in the Champions League.
Quote: "I knew him last year at Burnley, but his career is very recognizable as a player and a professional in football. As a coach, he started two or three years ago, and he worked with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. He achieved success quite quickly.
With his experience and the experience of working with Guardiola, everything I’ve observed from him as a coach, at Burnley and now with Bayern Munich, he has done an incredible job. I think he’s a coach with a very bright future, and he began achieving success at Burnley when they got promoted. Last year was tough for Burnley at the start, favorites for relegation. He couldn’t keep them in the Premier League. But I have always respected him a lot as a coach because the two matches we played against them were very challenging.
With Bayern Munich and their players, I think it’s easier to reach the desired level in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. They have started winning matches with very good results, and their style of play is very attractive," said Emery.
Reminder: The second round UEFA Champions League match between Aston Villa and Bayern Munich will take place on Wednesday, October 2nd, at Villa Park. The referee will blow the starting whistle at 21:00 Central European Time.
