Tah emphasises: Bayern stars "very happy" with Kompany extension | OneFootball

The mood at FC Bayern is excellent. After the early contract extension of coach Vincent Kompany until 2029, the team is looking to the future with great confidence. Center-back Jonathan Tah has now spoken about the team's reaction—and found clear words.

Shortly before the Champions League clash with Club Brugge, Tah commented on the decision made on the sidelines. The extension with Kompany was received very positively throughout the club. “We were all happy about the contract extension—the team is very happy about it, the whole club is very happy about it!” the 29-year-old explained at the press conference before the game.

Despite the significant personnel decision, the 39-year-old Belgian himself stayed true to form. “We didn’t make a big deal out of it; in the meeting, he only talked about the next opponent,” Tah revealed. This attitude in particular impresses the center-back: “He brings a certain calmness and focuses on the basics, on football. That’s our job, and it definitely makes him special.”

Kompany is regarded in the dressing room as a calm but assertive communicator who has won the team over with his clear approach and modern style. With his blend of discipline, empathy, and tactical finesse, he has quickly brought the record champions back on track.

Dreesen: “A real team has grown under Kompany”

The club’s management is also enthusiastic. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen emphasized the signal sent by the contract extension: “Under his leadership, a real team has grown, playing dominant and attractive football.” The decision to tie Kompany down for the long term is “not only a sign of trust, but also a clear commitment to the chosen path.”

Since taking office in the summer of 2024, Kompany has stabilized FC Bayern, led the team to new unity, and won the German championship in his very first season.

On Wednesday evening, the next challenge awaits the Munich side. Against Club Brugge, Kompany and his team want to extend their impressive streak of eleven wins in eleven competitive matches. Kick-off at the Allianz Arena is at 8:45 p.m.—and the mood at the German record champions could hardly be better.
