Overview
- The club announced a two-year extension for the 39-year-old head coach, keeping him under contract until June 30, 2029, after his previous deal ran to 2027.
- Kompany’s side has opened the season with 11 wins in 11 across competitions, including the German Super Cup, and leads the Bundesliga with seven wins from seven and a five-point cushion.
- CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised the attractive, dominant football and called the renewal a signal to players, while president Herbert Hainer framed it as a clear vote of confidence and continuity.
- Talks were concluded in roughly a week, and Kompany requested a quick, low-profile announcement to avoid disrupting preparation for Wednesday’s Champions League game against Club Brugge.
- Hired from Burnley in 2024 and champion in his debut season, Kompany’s success underpins the move, with some media suggesting it could strengthen upcoming player-contract efforts, including discussions involving Harry Kane.
