From the source
Vincent Kompany was not the obvious choice to succeed Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich. He had just suffered relegation with Burnley, and appointing him to lead one of the biggest clubs in world football was a gamble that raised plenty of eyebrows.
Yet, Max Eberl saw something in the Belgian coach that went far beyond the results on his CV.
Now, with Kompany having restored Bayern’s attacking identity, revitalized the atmosphere around the squad, and established himself as one of the most exciting coaches in European football, Eberl has opened up about how the appointment came together in an interview with Säbener 51 (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
