Bayern Munich supervisor Uli Hoeneß has hailed Vincent Kompany as 'a lottery win' and 'the most popular coach at FC Bayern in a long time.' The Belgian coach, who succeeded Thomas Tuchel in summer 2024, earned praise for building close connections with players and addressing issues internally rather than publicly.
Kompany was rewarded with a long-term contract until 2029 in October. Hoene contrasted Kompany's approach with Tuchel's, noting that the new coach has empowered players rather than weakening them through public demands.
