Bayern Munich have agreed a compensation fee of €12 million with Burnley for Vincent Kompany to become their new manager, according to reports.
The German giants have endured frustration in their bid to find a replacement for Thomas Tuchel after it was announced in February that he would depart the Allianz Arena this summer.
Tuchel was unable to end his tenure with silverware, and discussions about him potentially staying on collapsed. Bayern have now decided on Kompany as their new manager.
Tuchel’s farewell ended on a sour note with Bayern losing 4-2 to Hoffenheim on the final day of the season, resulting in a third-place finish in the Bundesliga table.
After unsuccessful attempts to hire Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso and Austria boss Ralf Rangnick, Bayern appear to have turned their attention to Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, despite his inability to prevent relegation from the Premier League this season.
The former Manchester City defender began his managerial career with Anderlecht in Belgium before joining Burnley in 2022, where he is under contract until 2028.
