No interest in power games: Kompany steers clear of Bayern politics | OneFootball

While Sports Director Max Eberl and Honorary President Uli Hoeneß have recently publicly discussed the leadership style at FC Bayern, Vincent Kompany is staying out of Bayern's internal power struggles and focusing entirely on the team and the locker room.

Things are going well for FC Bayern on the field, but behind the scenes, there has been turmoil for weeks. The conflict between Sports Director Max Eberl and Honorary President Uli Hoeneß is causing unrest. Head coach Vincent Kompany is not interested in this, as reported by Sport BILD – he deliberately chooses a different path than many of his predecessors.

While coaches like Thomas Tuchel or Julian Nagelsmann were regularly drawn into the political discussions surrounding the club, Kompany stays completely out of it. According to Sport BILD, the 39-year-old directs his energy where he wants it: in the locker room and on the field.

To emphasize this, Kompany never goes in front of the cameras alone at press conferences, but always alongside Max Eberl or Christoph Freund. This way, questions about transfers, contract extensions, or internal debates are directly passed on to the sports management – Kompany himself remains consistently in the sporting area.

Even the recent critical comments from Hoeneß about new signing Nicolas Jackson went uncommented by Kompany. For him, only the daily work with the team matters.

Kompany also completely avoids the ongoing discussions about the quality of the Bayern squad, at least publicly. On the contrary: According to information from Sport BILD, he recently praised the attitude of his players in internal meetings: "The energy we bring to the field is excellent!"

With this clear stance, Kompany makes it clear: He does not want to open any side issues but instead wants to advance the sporting goals of the record champion with calm and focus.
