Kompany is 38 years old. He hasn't achieved anything yet, but he got an invitation to Bayern. So why did Germany's top club choose such an inexperienced coach? Some football experts explain it like this.
Perhaps the answer lies in the trend towards attacking football. We see that in Europe it is rather dominant teams that succeed. Kompany was putting on a controlling football similar to the City/Brighton/Bayer style. This style allowed them to win the Championship with young players. But Kompany lacked the high calibre of players to be successful in the EPL. And now he will have absolutely top level players.
That may be a valid reason, but it is quite risky for Bayern to bring in an inexperienced coach, especially as they want to quickly recover after failing to defend their Bundesliga title this season and they even ended the season without achieving anything.
On the one hand, Kompany will get full support from the Bayern team which has a capable squad, but with high targets it will certainly also be a burden for Kompany.
I think age is not an obstacle for someone to coach, although indeed the experience possessed by Kompany is very little but I think there is something special about Kompany that did make Bayern Munich interested in signing him, Kompany managed to bring Burnley promotion to the Premier League in the previous season and of course it indicates if he does have the ability that might be an attraction for Munich to sign him even though this season Kompany Unable to prevent Burnley from being relegated , looking at Burnley game this season, in fact, their game is quite good and sometimes often makes their opponents difficult to win, but indeed the low quality of players possessed by Burnley certainly makes Kompany and Burnley unable to do much to win every game they have this season.
If we compare Alonso and Kompany, it seems that Kompany has more experience in coaching regardless of the achievements of two different coach this season, next season will certainly be Kompany first season coaching a big team and I think maybe he will be able to make a difference in Munich next season, becaus Munich is filled with many star players different to the Burnley he previously coached.
Alonso, who was able to lead Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga this season, seems to be a trend that makes European club clubs now start targeting young coaches to recruit, including Bayern Munich.
