Kahn on Bayern coach Kompany: „Does it amazingly well“ | OneFootball

Vincent Kompany inspires at FC Bayern – now club legend Oliver Kahn has also spoken out clearly about the successful coach

FC Bayern is heading for a historic season. After winning the German championship, the dream of the treble is still alive – as it was in 2013 and 2020. Munich could also make history in the Bundesliga and set the points record from the 2012/13 season

Head coach Vincent Kompany plays a central role in this. The 40-year-old has been praised for his work for weeks – and now Oliver Kahn has also joined the ranks of admirers

On Sky, the former Bayern keeper and former chairman of the board commented in detail on the Belgian’s development, saying that Kompany had come to Munich without much experience at top clubs and had immediately faced an enormous challenge

Before joining FC Bayern, Kompany only had spells at RSC Anderlecht and Burnley FC to his name, but he has so far managed to keep the record champions on track in both sporting and structural terms

Kahn draws comparison with Hitzfeld

Kahn is particularly impressed by Kompany’s handling of the complex environment at FC Bayern. „That’s the art of Bayern Munich: it’s not just about managing the team. It’s also about managing the environment and communicating well with the people in charge. He’s already doing that amazingly well at his age,“ explained the 56-year-old

Kahn thus emphasizes a decisive factor: FC Bayern is not only about sporting quality, but also about leadership off the pitch. According to Kahn, Kompany already seems to be exceptionally advanced in precisely this area

The former international goalkeeper even drew a comparison with coaching legend Ottmar Hitzfeld, who also knew how to lead the club into calm waters and create a stable structure

This is remarkable praise for Kompany, as Hitzfeld is one of the most successful coaches in the club’s history and led FC Bayern to the Champions League triumph.
