Bayern Munich Closing In On Surprise Appointment Of Komapany As New Manager

Kompany is still contracted to Burnley until the summer of 2028 but is keen on the prospect of taking over one of Europe's biggest clubs.

Bayern Munich are looking for a new manager after agreeing to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of this season.

The Bavarians are coming off the back of a disappointing season which saw them go trophyless for the first time in over a decade.

Bayern Munich finished third in the Bundesliga and lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.

Their interest in Kompany is surprising, given the former Manchester City defender has just suffered relegation from the Premier League with Burnley, with only five wins to show for their efforts.

Nonetheless, Bayern Munich believe Kompany's brand of possession-based football suits their ideology and are locked in fruitful discussions with the former Belgium international's representatives about taking over at the Allianz Arena.
