Bayern Munich are reportedly very keen on appointing Vincent Kompany as their new manager, according to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Bundesliga giants are considering Kompany, currently at Burnley, to replace Thomas Tuchel.

“Vincent Kompany has been considered as an option at several clubs in recent days despite relegation with Burnley,” Romano wrote on X. “Understand FC Bayern have discussed Kompany internally among possible candidates for the job. Brighton, still waiting to decide on a new coach.”

Bayern have struggled to secure a replacement for Tuchel, who has taken charge of his last game at the club. Previous attempts to recruit managers such as Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, and Oliver Glasner have been unsuccessful. However, it now appears that the Bavarians are focusing their efforts on bringing Kompany to the Allianz Arena.

Despite Burnley’s relegation this season after collecting just 24 points, Kompany’s potential and leadership qualities have caught the attention of Bayern Munich’s hierarchy. His managerial stint at Burnley, albeit challenging, has not deterred interest from top clubs looking for fresh leadership.
