Burnley in talks with Bayern over compensation in what would be a surprise appointment
Bayern Munich close to deal for Vincent Kompany to take over as managerBayer Leverkusen two games away from unbeaten season but in the Atalanta philosophy every team is beatable
Kompany, who began his managerial career at Anderlecht, earned a big reputation after joining Burnley two years ago. The former Manchester City defender took the Championship by storm, earning rave reviews after turning a defensive team into a thrilling attacking outfit, and led Burnley back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.
There were hopes that Burnley could succeed at the highest level by sticking to their progressive style of play. But their recruitment was lacking and they finished in 19th place after managing only 24 points. Allowing Kompany to make a swift departure will give Burnley time to find the right replacement as they gear up for another promotion campaign.
There will be raised eyebrows at Kompany earning such a big job. Equally there is a feeling that the 38-year-old’s methods could work well with a side at the top level. Kompany has experience of living in Germany after representing Hamburg during his hugely successful playing career. He has been targeted by Chelsea but he is not in line to replace Mauricio Pochettino this summer.
Pochettino could have been of interest to Bayern after his exit from Chelsea. Bayern have been knocked back by Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick, while they have not pursued interest in Erik ten Hag, Roberto De Zerbi and Hansi Flick.
