Pep Guardiola's advice: How did Vincent Kompany end up at Bayern?

Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeneß revealed that a secret conversation with Pep Guardiola was behind the appointment of Vincent Kompany as head coach. While the Munich club's management negotiated with candidates like Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, and Hansi Flick, they ultimately chose the Belgian specialist. This is reported by Goal.com .

According to Uli Hoeneß, Pep Guardiola advised the club's board to hire Kompany without hesitation. The Manchester City manager emphasized that if Bayern did not secure him now, he could potentially take over at Manchester City within the next two to three years.

During his tenure at Bayern, Vincent Kompany impressed the club's management with his work ethic and discipline. He completely transformed the team's attitude, establishing himself as the coach who arrives first at the training ground and leaves last.

After the failures of the Thomas Tuchel era, Kompany managed to rebuild the team. Under his leadership, Bayern won back-to-back Bundesliga titles and became one of the strongest teams in Europe.
