Pep Guardiola assisted Bayern Munich in appointing their new coach

Bayern Munich has appointed Vincent Kompany as the new head coach for the team next season. The chairman of the Munich team, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, stated that Manchester City's head coach, Pep Guardiola, assisted in signing Kompany.

"Pep Guardiola also helped us with Kompany; he spoke very highly of Vincent as a talented coach. Pep knows Vincent well, and his opinion was very important," Rummenigge said.

Recall that Bayern Munich reached an agreement with Burnley to sign Vincent Kompany from the English club. According to sources, Bayern will pay €12 million to terminate the coach's contract.

It was previously reported that Bayern and Kompany had already agreed on the contract terms. The Belgian will move to Munich on a three-year deal.

Kompany has been in charge of Burnley since the summer of 2022. Under his leadership, the "Clarets" convincingly won the Championship but were relegated from the Premier League, finishing 19th at the end of the season.

Previously, Bayern was turned down by Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, and Ralf Rangnick. They also attempted to continue negotiations with Thomas Tuchel, but those talks failed as well.
