Illness overcome! Vincent Kompany makes triumphant return to work at Bayern
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has officially returned to his duties at the club’s Säbener Straße training ground after a serious illness.
Details: According to respected German journalist Philipp Kessler, the 40-year-old Belgian coach has successfully completed his recovery from a dangerous inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain, which caused him to lose consciousness and be rushed to hospital on October 23. After nearly three weeks away, the coach arrived at his office this morning and has already begun personally overseeing the training sessions of players recovering from injuries.
The manager’s return has sparked a huge emotional lift at the German giants. Kompany is expected to resume his usual place on the touchline immediately after the international break, when Bayern face Köln in the Bundesliga on November 20.
It is worth noting that Vincent Kompany took charge of Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024, bringing back an exciting attacking style of football and keeping the Bavarians firmly at the top of the Bundesliga table.
