Kompany played Burnley brilliantly, no doubt about it. Developing such group become a respectable football team? Thats impressive. Burnley, though, were hardly world-beaters. In Slot's case, things were different. Great club Feyenoord has a winning history. Though its not like they appeared out of nowhere, second place is fantastic.

Now, the real game starts. Compagny has Bayern Munich. Slot's got Liverpool. These are big clubs with trophy-obsessed followers. It will be evident here what these guys are truly made of. Can Bayern's Kompany manage the egos? Following Klopp, can Slot keep Liverpool winning? That is the billion-dollar query. Thats, after all, what makes football thrilling. We shall simply have to watch and see.

I know that the role of a manager in the overall performance of a team can't be overemphasized but sometimes let's be honest with ourselves and know that it's most times 40% of the managers effort and 60% of what the players mentality his as well as what they are willing and able to do on the pitch.

That's the difference between real Madrid and most teams. Real Madrid has both quality players that has this never give up mentality and a good coach that's standing as a strong father and support to the team. You can't come against that kind of team with a new coach that's just trying some strategies out and still figuring  how best to manage his players. Even before mbape will officially start playing for the team, the coach has already blended him into the team you're surely going to see match come next season. I've never considered Bayern munich to be a serious threat to the defending champion. If we are talking about a potential threat, then man city, is the most likely to bring in a serious challenge.

Bayern Munich changing managers every season can definitely consider it a bad decision for them. Real Madrid Manchester City are successful because they have brought experienced managers to their club on long term contracts and the team is being managed under that manager. If Real Madrid or Manchester City changed managers every season I think it would be difficult for them to succeed here as well. Everyone has been a manager in their own capacity so everyone's strategy must be different.

Every season a new manager will come to the club and he will apply his tactics and it will be seen that the players are not getting the right tactics. If Bayern Munich are to do well next season they must first hire a quality manager and if they are successful here they will be successful in performance.

Kompany so far only has experience coaching the mediocre team and even that is not able to make Burnley can stay in the Premier League this season, Kompany of course has a lot of experience as a player but not as a coach and that is certainly no different from Alonso before he brought glory to Leverkusen this season, making Kompany as a coach of course not spared Alonso's success this season with Leverkusen so maybe Bayern Munich is also interested to make a young coach their coach next season, I think age, experience and system kompany may be the same as Alonso, but luck and success will certainly not necessarily be the same.

Bayern Munich this season is very slumped in the Bundesliga and just like Dortmund of course they also focus their attention on the Champions League this season, so we can see how the huge difference in Bayern Munich's performance between the Champions League and the Bundesliga, this season Bayern Munich managed to penetrate the semifinals and even actually they were able to give a tight resistance to Madrid,  But unfortunately tuchel took the wrong step by implementing a defensive scheme after they were 1 goal ahead and of course that made Madrid more free to pressure Munich and finally Madrid made a comeback by winning that  the match. 

People were not wrong about that. They were not overestimated real madrid. They are only stick to the reality if madrid is a very strong with mbappe as a new striker. People are realizing the fact that if having mbappe has made real madrid become a very strong club this time.
I can't even argue this caused by this is the truth. If real madrid was not a good club and it would not be winning 15 trophies. It's also the only team that has ever won UCL three times in a row. Is not it enough?


You don't wanna see that, but the reality said the opposite thing. This is pretty much the same like some PL fans said they are unwilling to see PL to be dominated by a club but the reality city is always dominating PL till this time.
It's hard to accept it but that was the reality.

So what do you think, is Kompany a panic signing for Bayern Munich after experiencing failure with Tuchel? His performance with Burnley could not be said to be successful because the team he coached failed to survive in the EPL, while Arne Slot succeeded in bringing Feyenoord to finish as runners up in the Eredivisie.
Arne Slot experience and abilities as a coach are better than Kompany, he succeeded in bringing Feyenoord to become Eredivise champions last season while Kompany failed to keep Burnley in the EPL. Big demands will be faced when a coach handles a big team, I am very skeptical about Kompany's ability to manage Bayern Munich as the club management hopes because Leverkusen success with Xabi Alonso will make Kompany task more difficult.

Kompany also has no experience in managing a team in a big competition like the Champions League, he needs time and the right strategy to make Bayern Munich a team that can provide competition to other favorite teams. This season will not be perfect for him because even a great coach like Tuchel failed to bring Bayern Munich to last longer in the Champions League.
 

We don't know anything about how good Kompany would be while managing a big team. But if he turns out to be a really good one just as Xabi Alonso has, then a much better season is waiting for Bayern Munich. 

Aside from that, you must have watched Bayern Munich against Real Madrid this year. Even while having problematic times with Tuchel they still caused big difficulties for Real Madrid. That comeback came really late in the match. If Bayern Munich have a better system to play consistently, I will definitely count them in the Champions League title race. Doesn't Kane deserve a championship already you think? 

If you have to compare these two names, it will clearly not be balanced if you refer to the team they managed previously. Arne Slot handles Feyenoord who have competed for a long time in the Eredivisie league, they also have a squad that is capable in that league. While Kompany managed Burnley who previously competed under the Premier League, to be able to compete in the Premier League competition they had to work hard. Unfortunately, with the team's lack of depth in almost all areas, in the end they dropped back down in caste and were eliminated from the Premier League. It's very natural, it will be difficult for Kompany to bring Burnley to stay in the Premier League without being supported by at least an ideal team.

Now these two coaches are managing teams with big names. Arne Slot with Liverpool, Kompany handles Bayern Munich. Both Arne and Kompany will go through a winding road when handling their new team. Liverpool has many strong competitors in the Premier League, it will be a tough task how Arne Slot handles them. Kompany with Bayern Munich is a tough and serious challenge for him to handle a team at Bayern Munich's level. Apart from having to be able to achieve chemistry with his players, Kompany prepares himself for the various challenges he will face, especially when competing in various competitions. In essence, it will not be easy for these two coaches, both Arne Slot and Vincent Kompany, who have to be ready to face next season's competition with their squad.

I think this is something difficult, and I even disagree a little when comparing the performance of 2 coaches in different leagues. Although maybe in this case I also have a little doubt about Vincent Kompany because his performance with Burnley was not expected, Burnley had to be relegated this season under his coaching.

However, unlike Burnley, at Bayern Munich he has a very good composition of players, so maybe that will be the difference between his performance in his previous team and at Bayern Munich next season. I hope what I say is not much different from what happened. Vincent Kompany must be able to maximize the "luxury" squad he has.

I will not rush to conclude whether he deserves to be with Bayern Munich or not, I will give him the opportunity to prove that he deserves to be on the coaching bench of Bayern Munich with head status.

Bayern Munich of course must be able to recover with good performance and play so that they can compete well next season and return to their glory days. With the season that has passed, they have indeed experienced a performance that can be said to be bad because they were not able to win a single trophy. Of course, Bayern Munich has to fix the problems that made them perform less well in the previous season. I think Bayern Munich already has quite talented and quality players, but maybe they have other problems, because I think in terms of players, they already have enough players who can make they are good in performance.

In fact, I have previously read that the decline in Bayern Munich's performance was caused by Harry Kane joining Bayern Munich, even though it was not like that. because the key in football is teamwork, so maybe they are just not good at teamwork. and with the upcoming season I hope they have the preparation to compete better than before.

Bayern Munich would had been a top contender for me but they do not have a manager that we can depend on to challenge Real Madrid and Manchester city, Bayern Munich have very good players and a top striker but they can not win, I do not think they will be able to win their league in the first place because other teams will use the opportunity of Bayern Munich having a new manager that is yet to understand the team and the league to play very well so they can win the league. I do not think Bayern Munich made the right choice of hiring Vincent Kompany as their manager. There are better managers without a job that they could have hired and they will be favourites to win. Real Madrid with mbappe is going to be untouchable and they are going to defend their championship league again.

That is why they fired Tuchal and hired a new manager because they need a trophy next season, and I believe Bayern Munich will be very strong next season, competing with large clubs as they once did. harry kane didn't have luck in tottenham last two seasons and he decided to leave the club and move to munich because he didn't have any trophy and now he doesn't have a better season they didn't win any trophy last season let see if they can get the opportunity to win the tittle next season and try to win the champions league next season with the new coach, because munich have a very good players but I think is because they don't have a talented coach that can arrange them very well in the team. kane do his best for munich and score goals for them, if harry kane does not win the tittle next season, I think he doesn't have luck to raise any tittle on his career and is already getting old next season, munich to perform very well to win the league and don't let levenkusen get the chance to win the league tittle again, but he won't be very easy for them to win the champions league because real madrid and manchester city I think they are the only clubs I see they will dominate the competition next season in my opinion.

What about Kompany, if I compare with Arne Slot then Arne Slot should be better. So he has better management skills. Feyenoord managed to finish in 2nd place in the Dutch League. While Kompany with Burnley failed to survive in the EPL. I think right now Kompany is also with Munich. With the big history champion in Lague and Europa. They both won the same club with good achievements so there is a heavy burden. When there is a new coach and does not have good statistics it looks bad, but I don't make statistics, statistics are just records sometimes there are always new surprises that can be bad or good.

I personally don't know Arne Slot and I heard his name after Klopp left Liverpool. Yes, of course Arne Slot will definitely not have the potential to get good and instant results to make Liverpool a very strong team, especially in the UCL next season (2024-2025)

Yes, of course we'll just have to see what Arne Slot will do but I'm sure Arne Slot dare to join Liverpool because of course he believes that Liverpool still has good potential for the future. but actually I agree that Liverpool recruited Arne Slot to replace Klopp because if you look at Arne Slot who coached Feyenoord he was very good because in the last season Slot brought Feyenoord to become 2nd champion but in the 2022-2023 season Arne Slot succeeded in making Feyenoord champions in the Eredivisie league.

So yes, I think Arne Slot will definitely work optimally to make Liverpool a strong team. Yes, this is his first experience coaching in a well-known league. Of course this will make us curious, but I also hope that Arne can make Liverpool perform better in the 2024-2025 season and of course I also want to congratulate Arne Slot because he is now in Famous league.

None of us know about the future but in some cases we can make some predictions and sometimes our predictions match. At the moment, Messi and Ronaldo are not in Europe so it is a very easy matter for Mbappe to win the Ballon d'Or. Mbappe didn't do well at PSG but will definitely do well at Real Madrid if he doesn't get injured. At Real Madrid, Mbappe will have quality team-mates who will help him score goals and the successful assists he will make will be well finished by the rest of the club's players. Winning the Champions League title is very important for the player who will be nominated for the Ballon d'Or. If Mbappe had come last season as Real Madrid offered him last season, he might have won the Ballon d'Or this season because Real Madrid won the Champions League title this season and if he played the whole season for Real Madrid, he certainly had a chance.

The fact is as you say and maybe if next season nothing changes all that then Liverpool will not be able to develop further. The depth of their squad decreases every season and the quality of the players is also questionable. Different from his prime when he won the Champions League in 2019 and slowly the players are starting to be replaced. Mohamed Salah is still quite unsure whether he will stay or not, but what is clear is that there is currently no replacement, and besides, his performance is still quite competent in his position.

Darwin Nunez is indeed very funny and he had quite a few opportunities to score goals, but again his finishing was deemed unable to bring Liverpool to a definite victory. Some time ago he returned to Uruguay to play a match, but strangely he scored a hat trick and I asked whether there was a difference in his quality at Liverpool and in Uruguay? Could it be that the language problem was an obstacle for him in adapting to the Liverpool squad, maybe for those who don't know, during several seasons at Liverpool he still couldn't speak English and that certainly hindered him a little from adapting to his colleagues.

Klopp era at Liverpool has officially ended this season, Klopp left a glory that will indeed be very difficult to match by other coaches who will coach Liverpool, Klopp this season has announced his retirement as Liverpool coach after 9 years with the Reds, but unfortunately Klopp farewell this season did not go well enough because Liverpool failed to get a trophy this season,  Klopp's ability of course we cannot doubt, so far Klopp has been able to bring Liverpool back to rise and succeed not only in the Premier League but even they have been able to compete as challengers for the Champions League title so far, Klopp managed to get the Champions League trophy for Liverpool in the 2019 season as well as the Champions League trophy after the last time he got it in the 2005 season.


Currently, of course, Liverpool will enter a new era with coach Arne Slot, Liverpool fans of course expect a lot from Arne Slot next season to be able to continue the positive trend that has been built by Klopp, but the coach transition of course takes a lot of time and patience before Arne Slot is able to lift Liverpool performance, Arne Slot of course has a different scheme and philosophy in coaching so I think the adjustments will be made to the squad later will take time.

Bayern Munich management will not allow what happened to them last season to repeat itself shortly, so they will sign players that will help them get back to their glory days. So I agree with you that Bayern Munich will be a serious contender to win the UEFA Champions League trophy when it starts next season. It is a pity that Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich at a bad time. Harry Kane put in his best and scored goals for Bayern Munich to win a trophy last season, but Bayern Munich's team spirit was low, which made them not win any trophy last season.

Let's wait for Slot's first year at Liverpool to see if he can defend his place at the top of the EPL. Liverpool will be forced to finish at least in the top 4 in order to defend its UCL spot upcoming season. He deserved to be fired if liverpool will not able to fulfill that condition next season. BTW, this is not a simple job for Slot, given that Liverpool is currently having a very competitive season against arsenal and manchester city. It will be a difficult task for him to make Liverpool as competitive as it was when Klopp was there. It's caused by slot never faces manchester city or arsenal before.

People can have high hopes for him, but in my opinion, Arne Slot is a trash coach. Let us wait and see what he has in store for the forthcoming season. I value him at the same level as Maresca. Maresca has previously coached the England squad.
Meanwhile, Arne Slot was not previously coaching England's team.

It means he has no experience to deal with EPL. This is gonna be his first time. Let's see whether he will be doing well.

Each coach has a different strategy in building the performance of the club under his care. Arne Slot and Jurgen Kloop have different strategy patterns and are not the same so we cannot compare Arne Slot being able to do what Jurgen Kloop does because Jurgen Kloop used to need several seasons to improve his performance. Liverpool gradually and he also did not immediately provide good performance for Liverpool so Liverpool management already understands the stages of their journey with Jurgen Kloop and will likely do the same to Arne Slot by giving him lots of time, so that Arne Sloot doesn't need to feel pressured by the results that must be instant in his first season.

I also don't know what Arne Slot's coaching system is like because this coach is rarely mentioned in various media and it seems like he doesn't have much experience in various clubs in famous leagues and this is his first season coaching a big club in the Premier League Liverpool and he has to showed his skills even though he doesn't have much experience, but previously he coached Feyenoord and got pretty good results. Hopefully he can also give good results to Liverpool next season.
