Bayern Munich Extends Vincent Kompany’s Contract to 2029 in Surprise Move

Club leaders cast the early deal as a return to stability after years of rapid coaching changes.

Overview

  • FC Bayern announced Tuesday that Kompany’s agreement, previously set to expire in 2027, now runs through June 30, 2029.
  • The extension follows a Bundesliga title in his first season and an 11-for-11 start across competitions in the new campaign.
  • President Herbert Hainer framed the move as a strong vote of confidence and a marker of continuity, a message echoed by CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and sporting director Max Eberl.
  • Reporting in Germany indicates negotiations began only last week, remained tightly guarded, and were signed off just hours before publication to avoid distractions ahead of the Club Brugge match; Kompany asked that it be handled low‑key.
  • Some outlets say offers for new contracts to Kompany’s assistants and key staff are expected, though the club has not confirmed this.
