May 23 (Bloomberg) -- According to British media outlet The Guardian, the
Bayern
Munich have made a deal to hire Burnley boss
Vincent Kompany (1985-), French soccer player
The matter of opening talks with Burnley and negotiating over compensation. Bayern are set to part ways with current manager Tuchel at the end of the season, but their selection process has not gone well, with a number of coaches turning them down.
Despite Burnley's relegation from the Premier League this season, Bayern still see 38-year-old Vincent Kompany as an ideal target for selection. The Guardian states that Bayern are in advanced stages of talks with Burnley, with both sides consulting on compensation on Wednesday and hoping to reach an agreement by the end of the week.
While Bayern's choice of Kompany came as a surprise to some, others believe the young coach can work well with top teams. Kompany played for Hamburg as a player and is familiar with the German soccer environment. His coaching style and tactical philosophy are also well recognized, and although he is also under Chelsea's radar, he is not the preferred choice to replace Mauricio Pochettino this summer.
Bayern are hoping that by bringing in Vincent Kompany, they will inject new energy and tactical ideas into the team in an effort to remain competitive in the new season. Fans are looking forward to this potential personnel change and are concerned about the club's ability to successfully complete the selection process.
