Overview
- Club president Herbert Hainer said Vincent Kompany can shape an era comparable to Jupp Heynckes, Ottmar Hitzfeld or Pep Guardiola and credited him as the main driver of current success.
- Bayern sit top of the Bundesliga with 28 points from 10 matches and lead their Champions League group after a win at Paris Saint‑Germain.
- The club confirmed on October 21 that Kompany’s contract, originally set to run to 2027, was extended early through 2029 in a rare mid‑tenure renewal for a Bayern head coach.
- Sporting director Christoph Freund called Kompany the perfect coach for Bayern and praised his character, intelligence and daily collaboration.
- Reporting in Germany says Bayern view the extension as a stability signal intended to encourage new deals for players such as Harry Kane, Dayot Upamecano, Michael Olise and Konrad Laimer.
