Expert reveals: Kompany takes a different approach to Tuchel and Nagelsmann | OneFootball

Vincent Kompany has established clear structures at FC Bayern in a short amount of time. A TV expert now reveals how the coach deliberately acts differently from his predecessors—and what attitude he pursues in doing so.

In an interview with Watson, Tobias Schweinsteiger spoke about the impact of the Belgian coach on the inner workings of the club. It became clear: Kompany places great value on restraint—not only in interviews, but also in comparison to previous Bayern coaches.

“Of course, it’s not always super interesting, because you don’t get much from him. He always puts himself in front of the team and doesn’t offer any points of attack. I’ve even talked to him about this privately,” said the brother of World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger.

“He wants to completely free himself from his predecessors. He wants to do his job, focuses on the team, and that’s the most important thing. That’s what he’s paid for,” Schweinsteiger continued. Tuchel and Nagelsmann, on the other hand, repeatedly caused a certain media stir with controversial statements—not so with Kompany.

Matthäus: “Always problems with the coach…”

Lothar Matthäus had previously commented on the developments under Kompany. The Sky expert was impressed by the change the 39-year-old has initiated in such a short time. “He had a very good start, there’s a great atmosphere. He has reunited the team and the players are having fun together again.”

This lightness had been lost in recent years: “And I’m sorry to say it, but they didn’t have this fun in the previous years. There were always problems with the coach or other distractions. Kompany doesn’t allow any of that.”

Internally, recognition for the former Premier League professional is also steadily growing. Sporting director Max Eberl recently praised him publicly and called the appointment a “stroke of luck.” Kompany has not only impressed in sporting terms, but has also positively shaped the club’s atmosphere.

For Tobias Schweinsteiger, the overall package is decisive. Kompany is particularly convincing in technical discussions: “We really like having him in front of the camera at DAZN. When you talk to him about tactical matters and analyze scenes, it’s super informative. On other topics, he tends to remain rather reserved.”
