Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has hailed head coach Vincent Kompany for his response to a recent racist incident, saying getting him was 'like hitting the lottery jackpot'.

According to BuLi News, Hainer praised the Belgian's character and leadership in public remarks.

Kompany delivered a 12-minute monologue that addressed the abuse suffered by Vinícius Junior and Gianluca Prestianni. He condemned racism and stressed that football, and society beyond it, must stand firmly against discrimination.
