Of course it was very surprising to everybody seeing the performance of Bayern Leverkusen improve the way they did because following up there performances seasons ago if somebody would tell me that they would be the winner of this season Bundesliga I will seriously doubt it but however Xabi has proven that he has the technical knowledge to take Bayern Leverkusen into another level, so I totally agree with you that is very important for a club to be very patient with there coach because if not for the time Bayern Leverkusen gave Xabi they wouldn't have secure the reputation they did on this season, however in terms of Kompany there is a possibility that he may coach well if giving the opportunity but however I'm only a bit skeptical because he is still very new in terms of coaching.

When I saw what Xabi did in his first season at Leverkusen, my attitude towards coaches has changed. Experience is of course important, but each coach must be given sufficient time. Kompany is perhaps a coach who can teach Bayern important football tactics. I'm sure their main goal will be to leave Leverkusen behind.

It is difficult to say that Vincent Kompany will be able to improve Bayern Munich performance in the near future, my doubts about his ability are based on his failure to save Burnley from relegation. The previous coach had more experience in managing the club, but his presence could not improve Bayern Munich performance as many expected. This is also the first time Vincent Kompany has managed a big club, next season he will lead Bayern Munich in the UCL competition, of course he will have big demands to make Bayern Munich a team capable of competing in the title race.

Apart from that, competition in the Bundesliga next season will also be even fiercer, Vincent Kompany must also make Bayern Munich, who have just lost the title they have won for years regain champion status from Leverkusen. His first season will not be perfect with Bayern Munich, he will also work under pressure from club officials who want Bayern Munich to win trophies again.

Of course, with Bayern Munich currently experiencing problems like this, this is an opportunity for other teams to take advantage of it, especially Leverkusen, who will definitely take advantage of this opportunity. Of course, Bayern Munich failed to win a trophy because they had a problem that caused them to experience a decline in performance so that they couldn't compete well enough so they couldn't get the title in the season that passed. They must be able to fix everything to be able to perform better and provide even better competition in the coming season.

indeed, with Leverkusen itself still having the same coach, of course that will make them perform the same as before and will definitely try to be better than before, for Bayern Munich of course they must be able to improve their performance to be able to compete again with their best performance, because with them experiencing a decline in performance, this clearly creates an opportunity for other teams to take advantage of it.

Kompany, dude's got potential, but he's stepping into a shark tank. Bayern is a pressure cooker; he has to perform, big time; there is no Anderlecht or Burnley. Champions League is the real test, and if he can't make it happen, he's gonna be out faster than you can say "tap out". Kompany's defense-first approach is logical, just what they need. Can it, however, resist Leverkusen's firepower? We're gonna find out soon enough. The war will be bloody, and I can't wait to watch who wins

That's right, considering that the opportunity is still wide open as long as Pahlovic remains consistent and doesn't slow down in his performance, he could be an important part of Germany's future in big competitions. This year has been unlucky to have to face something that many players don't want to face and I hope he stays strong.

Young players like Pahlovic must be given a lot of trust because if not, sometimes they can give up in the midst of tighter competition between young players, but apart from that, their mentality has also been improved. Ito is the second Asian player after Kim Min Jae and we will see two central defenders from Bayern Munich who will be strengthened by these Asian players.

Apart from everyone who will see how Vincent Kompany will lead the Bundesliga giant team next season by giving everything he can to dominate the Bundesliga again next season. Bayer Leverkusen will also remain a special concern for many people because what Bayer Leverkusen did last season was truly a surprise that many people never expected, so Bayer Leverkusen still has to be a rival that Bayern Munich will be wary of next season in the Bundesliga.

So they (Bayern Munich) have to wait for a decline in performance from Leverkusen? In my opinion, this is incorrect thinking, because when a team wants to win the title, they should be the ones who can perform very well, not wait for the decline experienced by other teams. The decline experienced by other teams should not be a benchmark for them to be able to dominate the league again, they must be able to determine their own fate instead of depending on other teams.
If that's the way of thinking, then as long as Leverkusen performs well then Bayern Munich should be satisfied with what they get even if they can't become champions? I think it looks cute. The reason is how could a team have to decide their fate against another team, which even happens before the competition starts. Bayern Munich is a very big team, they are very capable of being able to compete with Leverkusen even with Leverkusen's extraordinary performance like this season, with a note they must also be able to perform very well too.

If the two clubs that finished first and second on the table keep to their performance, I don't think that there will be any hope for Bayern Munich to win the league next season. This is because Bayern Munich brought a new coach and those other two clubs are still with their coach which they used in achieving their positions last season. So it is likely that their coaches will improve the team performance more and make it more better than last season.

Bayern Munich just want to start knowing the players and Komoany might not adapt fast with the players. I am not saying that Kompany is not competent for the job but he has a lot to do and a lot will be expected from him by the fans, be ause the are used to victory and they want those moments back immediately. Leverkusen and Stuttgart is a threat.

I don't think Kompany has a significant influence in making player transfers. Bayern management will act to protect the club long term interests so that they do not rush to bring in random players. Meanwhile, Bayern failure to maintain its dominance last season was not entirely Tuchel fault. It could be that Tuchel doesn't get along with some of his players.

The transfer window has just opened, we need to see how Bayern improves the depth of their squad, to predict their strength when facing Leverkusen. Currently, Xabi fleet has not shown any signs of a decline in performance, so they still have the opportunity to repeat their impressive season, and may still be able to beat Bayern next season.

Bayern chances of winning a trophy next season are actually quite open even though Kompany doesn't have much experience as a manager. Apart from that, whatever strategy Kompany wants to implement is currently very easy to do, because the difference in squad depth between Bayern and Burnley is very large.

Under normal circumstances, Bayern Munich would be the big favorites. But they have a team with the most extraordinary statistics in history. I think that whatever Vincent Kompany does, he will first and foremost have to wait for Bayer Leverkusen to perform worse than last season. If Bayer Leverkusen continue with the same statistics, Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich have no chance. If they apply the same transfer policy to Bayer Leverkusen as they did to Borussia Dortmund in the past, they might have a chance to change something.

This is actually how nit should be, monopoly of victory by a single team by continued dominance, ends up making the league boring and that was the shape the bundesliga was gradually taking because at some point it was becoming a norm that everyone was almost getting used to, every season, we were already sure of the winner even before the end of the season and the only thing we were anticipating was who is possibly going to be the runner up after Bayern Munich but then came about a change proudly sponsored by Leverkusen which got everyone marveling.

Even if kompany brings about new ideas and strategies which is most likely going to work for the team, it may not be all they will be needing, and they will most definitely need time of which in some cases it may take beyond a season to attain stability with such strategy and tactics which kompany may want to employ as he heads the team. Bayern Munich in my perspective will be unstable awhile except there be an exceptionality that will be portrayed by kompany sooner than expected. The realities of football sometimes is way beyond just the strength of a team.

We cannot predict Kompany's abilities in the near future but we will see the results of his first debut with Munich later, usually strong teams always play less well at the start of the season due to the adaptation factor of new players and also new coaches, this is actually normal because not only Munich and even all teams will play like that, it's not always good at the start of the season, whether the decision was wrong or not, only the Munich management knows why they chose Kompany instead of keeping Tuchel there.

There may be targets that Tuchel did not achieve, for example getting a trophy last season, but the fact is that he did not lead Munich to get a single trophy last season. In the new season, it is clear that Munich has given Kompany the opportunity to bring Munich towards real change. Munich may hope that Kompany can do the same thing with Xabi Alonso for Leverkusen, but here is the tight competition where Kompany might surprise us all, just as Xabi Alonso gave us the surprise of making the Leverkusen team an unbeatable team last season.

Yes yes I also think it is interesting that Bayern Munich who used to be best team in Bundesliga had hard time keeping up with Leverkusen this season. They need to change their strategy and team lineup especially with new coach. Maybe Kompany will bring new ideas and excitement to team but it might take time for everything to come together. Usually new coaches do not lead their teams to big wins right away. But I hope Kompany will be different and lead Bayern Munich to a great season next year. It will be fun to watch how he changes the team and competes against Leverkusen and other strong teams.

I hope he ( Vincent Kompany ) is trying to bring in players that would fit into the long term plans of the club not just for his own time as coach, yeah?
  There's no way the likes of Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller would be staying if Thomas Tuchel stayed. I'm not saying he is a bad coach, but his tactics weren't in alignment with the way his squad and the players played. And at the same time, had a bad relationship with strong minds in the dressing room.
It was the right call to part ways with Thomas Tuchel. Though, Bayern Leverkusen did very well at a top top level.

I want to see a game between Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich and who classes the other when it comes to tactical intelligence. I'm still more of a Xabi Alonso fan even though I have something for Bayern Munich as well. I never saw all of his games when he was manager for Burnley.

T's reported he did brilliantly well as a manager for Burnley.

top teams will not always be able to get what they want and will always have the biggest problems when the team gets the wrong player or coach and that happened to Bayern Munich who had dominated the bundesliga but in the end got into this problem when they made decisions too quickly, bringing in the wrong coach had a negative impact on Munich performance.
this is a reminder to all bundesliga teams and even reminds all European teams that when bringing in a coach they have to be really careful so that it doesn't have a bad impact like Munich, which is very embarrassing as a top team and is called a bundesliga giant team that has to lose its reputation after making Tuchel as a coach could not manage Munich well and wasted a big opportunity after Kane arrival.

choosing Vincent Kompany as Tuchel replacement is actually not the right choice for all football observers, but for Munich it is the right choice because there is something we don't know that gives Munich confidence.
we'll see next season whether Vincent Kompany can make a difference to Munich, but for me maybe the start of the season will be a little less good.

Now this is what is quite interesting, this season Bayern Munich failed to compete significantly with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich itself, which previously had complete dominance in the Bundesliga, is also under heavy pressure due to Leverkusen good performance.
But next season Bayern Munich will appear with several changes such as playing strategy or the composition of player positions, even allowing Bayern Munich to appear with much more different style because they have new coach.
If Kompany is able to create better style of play, maybe the competition will be very interesting, but in his first season with Bayern Munich it is also possible that they have not been able to show very good performance.
It is very rare for new coach to be able to bring team to show significant increase in performance or even win championship title, at least in the second season they can show this improvement.
Hope is that Kompany can do it in his first season and just wait and see how he performs as leader of Bayern Munich next season.

This I do not agree with. Bayern Leverkusen was able to win the Bundesliga title because they performed consistently and showed high self-confidence, not because Bayern Munich did not perform well, but it was Leverkusen who performed well throughout the season. Bayern Munich cannot appear consistent because their defense is very weak and they concede easily. The Upamecano - Min Jae duet was the cause of defensive problems which often caused blunders, before Tuchel finally found a solution by pairing the Mathijs de Ligt - Eric Dier duet at the end of a solid season but it was too late because Leverkusen got points that Bayern Munich could no longer catch.

Next season Bayern Munich will appear with coach Vincent Kompany, of course he doesn't have much to do because the squad that Tuchel left behind is already good. Vincent Kompany just needs to improve his defense. It's worth waiting for his performance at Bayer Munic. He must have the courage to make changes for a better formation scheme, especially supported by management. However, new coaches usually need time for the team to remain stable, so I think next season Leverkusen will still dominate the Bundesliga.

One of the biggest risks by any of the traditional big clubs in Europe in appointment of their club managers is the one that was recently taken by the most successful German club Bayern Munich. After a very poor season that saw them finish the entire campaign without a trophy, the club management decided to sack the manager that oversaw such failure and appointed a new one who to many is still an average manager that shouldn't be found anywhere near a big club like Bayern Munich. Vincent Kompany who just oversaw the relegation of Burnley from the English Premier League in the just concluded season was the manager Bayern Munich deemed fit succeed Thomas Tuchel at the club.
Now the Belgian has been given the mandate of bringing Bayern Munich back to where they belong both in German domestic competitions and in Europe beginning from next season. Just like me, many people are seriously in doubt if Vincent Kompany will able to succeed at the club however, I'll want to see him defile all odds and make his spell at Bayern Munich a success

Been speculative with this which you have stated is good but I wouldn't want to consider t whole enough because if you look at the structure of Bayern Munich currently, in as much as they would want to regain back their dominance and take over the bundesliga once again, they don't have a very stable or strong structure currently and all of these are needed if they will be able to take back the league because away from Leverkusen is other teams too who are trying and hoping to attempt the league title and they are not promising an easy league struggle in the coming season, so Bayern Munich needs more than just the speculations to get back their face in the bundesliga

Talking about mediocre coaches, I don't think kompany is or should be seen as one, he didn't get to do excellently with his former team but still he isn't a mediocre and optimistically he may do better in Munich especially with the fact that all that he will be needing will be very much available aswell as he's got a team with a good depth so the Job isn't supposed to be a really hectic one but where he may need to put in the work will be with his technicalities after which the rest may just be on auto pilot (lol) considering the kind of team Bayern Munich is in the bundesliga and they still have their depth maintained.
