Eberl reveals how Bayern landed Kompany after Nagelsmann and Rangnick turned them down
Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readMax Eberl has revealed how Bayern Munich ended up appointing Vincent Kompany as Thomas Tuchel's successor two years ago after being turned down by both Julian Nagelsmann and Ralf Rangnick.
From the source
Bayern Munich took a gamble when they appointed Vincent Kompany as Thomas Tuchel’s successor in 2024 – and it has paid off handsomely. Kompany has enjoyed considerable success since arriving at the Allianz Arena, leading Bayern to two Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal and two DFL-Supercups.
However, given he had just been relegated from the Premier League with Burnley in 2024, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl admits that the 40-year-old was not initially the obvious choice in the club’s search for a new head coach.
“I joined the club at a time when it was already clear that the coach wouldn’t be staying on after the end of the season.
