Bayern Munich supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß has lavished praise on coach Vincent Kompany, describing him as "a lottery win for us – with a bonus number." Hoeneß highlighted how Kompany has built a close connection with his players, something predecessor Thomas Tuchel struggled to achieve.
Kompany, who was appointed in summer 2024 and recently signed a contract extension until 2029, has become the most popular coach at Bayern in a long time according to Hoeneß, who appreciates the coach's approach to handling team issues internally rather than publicly.
