The Belgian, who was not able to steer Burnley clear of Premier League relegation, was a surprise pick to succeed Thomas Tuchel as manager
Vincent Kompany has brushed aside concerns he was not Bayern Munich’s first choice by insisting the club have done well to appoint him.
Kompany led Burnley to promotion from the Championship last year but his first experience as a Premier League manager was a disappointing one, ending in the Clarets’ immediate relegation. “I know what a big club Bayern Munich is. I’m very proud but also very motivated to start. The season could start today, right away.”
Kompany will be under immediate pressure to regain the Bundesliga title, which the club missed out on this year for the first time since 2012, and challenge in the Champions League. Kompany also dismissed worries about how he will work with elite players. He feels that, after skippering City to four Premier League triumphs, he belongs at such a level.
