Sebastian Hoeness signed a new contract near the end of this season AND stated publicly that he wanted to stay at Stuttgart when he was asked specifically if he had been conracted by Bayern.
Nice, wish more managers would do that honestly
@@Zealandism his Uncle is the De facto boss for Bayern i think he is avoiding the club because of that, nepotism and so on.

@@NeoSpacian1237it used to be the most unpredictable major league in Europe, many big clubs but all with similar budgets and large fanbases. Bayern are chaos so I think until they can sort it out it will be an intense league that many teams can win

Harry Kane has his lawyers looking at his contract. Hoping they can find a way for him to leave Bayern 😂😂😂
Calling the bayern job "easy" is far from the truth. There is not a single club in world football where you have the same pressure to perform in domestic competitions and the enviroment is overall extremly toxic both with the media and the people involved like uli hoeneß who will just publically call you out even tho he doesnt even hold an official position at the club anymore
Well, maybe being the coach of PSG is more difficult. The entire world is rooting against them. You win, people call you a clown, you lose people call you a bigger clown. The toxicity around that club probably beats Bayern at least. Probably Man United as well. Not that I’m complaining 😂
@jeroen3618 City as well in their own way, if you succeed its expected, and people call you a cheat (cause of the allegations), but if you dont win a trophy, people clown you and pretend like its a failure. That is the standard that Pep has set, a standard that i dont think any managers can keep going. So whoever is managing City next is gonna be in a bad situation lol.
@@idk-dz3foit's not gonna be pressure inside the club or former players or managers though. Man city don't have that history of being a top club. All the structure has been recently built by the oil state with few dissenting voices. Teams like man Utd, Barca, Real, Bayern have more outspoken critics related to the club who will have accumulated over years with different views in different eras, they'll never please everyone and makes it toxic. Maybe if pep, aguero, etc shit talk the next manager in 5 years that comparison can start but actual big clubs have decades of people related to them talking shit, working in media, getting their influence right now every day
Well, it'd be pretty embarrassing if you cheat and still don't win 😂 @@idk-dz3fo
he means "easy" as in, .......its easy to beat Union Berlin when you are handed kane, sane, coman, musi, etc etc
week to week it is easy to manage bayern.

Sebastian Hoeneß did turn it down + others.
No he stated publicly against it and FCB stated against it aswell. There is no trustworthy source that there was any contact between the two parties. The only 4 where you can believe it 100% are Alonso, Nagelsmann, Rangnick and Tuchel. After Rangnick they wanted Glasner (Crystal Palace wanted 100 Mio €) and there were discussions about Flick, but he favoured Barcelona and the club was not 100% with him.
@@cpndnt100 hoeness is the nephew of uli hoeness, so he was mentioned early in rumors after tuchel got sacked. However he stated publicly that he has no intentions on leaving stuttgart and extended his contrag in march to make it clear he wants to stay. A different name that came up a lot in rumors as well is de Zerbi, however with him it has been unclear how much contact there actually was.
@@moseff I know. I follow Bayern Munich intense. I´m very active in some forums so if there is anything seriour I´ve read it in the past weeks/months.
Between De Zerbi and FC Bayern has been some contact apparently, but that was during the UCL Quarters and nothing of it is official. As far as I have heard Eberl wanted De Zerbi after Alonso said no, but Hoeneß did´nt want him.
He's playing FM with max reputation
He speaks German and knows the league. That puts him over most of the remaining managers available for Bayern
I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see Sir Sean Dyche playing brexit ball at Bayern :> that'd be so funny
Harry Kane finally left his boyhood club to find some success and stability
The success and stability:
Dyche got burnley promoted, stayed in the prem the next season, then made the europa League the next season by finishing 7th. The football was abrasive on the retina but to finish 7th with those players was impressive.
The Kane curse is really strong.
Man City and Guardiola connections make it seem far less weird than Edin Terzic going from being on Slaven Bilic’s coaching team at West Ham to being a Champions League final manager with Dortmund in the space of a few years
Sebastian Hoeneß did turn it down + others
Regarding Sebastian Hoeneß: He was asked in April in a press conference ahead of a Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen whether he would be interested in the Bayern Munich job. He turned it down, saying he wouldn't have extended his contract until 2027 if he wanted to leave Stuttgart this summer.
If they'd waited another day they could have got Pochettino (which would have been great for Kane) or Ten Haag (or Xavi, even), who would have possibly been a better fit also. It's hilarious! Kompany surely can't believe his luck!!
Could've even gotten xavi now if they want to replicate former Spanish midfielder magic that Leverkusen captured with xabi
As a Bayern supporter for 2 decades, we don’t want Poch & especially not Xavi… I don’t want to watch our club playing pass side to side football. Going listen to Basti explain how the Barca strategy ruined our league. Bring that ish somewhere else. We have a very specific style of play that has been ingrained in our club for decades. Our philosophy is direct, all out attack & serious pressure defensively. Out of those 3, I’d rather have Ten Haag because he already worked for the club, knows our system & would integrate youth. That’s literally my only gripe with the Kompany hire. While he plays a high flying offense & pressurized defense, I don’t see him giving much opportunity to youth players…
For those who don't already know Sebastian Hoeneß is the nephew of Uli Hoeneß. Take that as you will.
When something has never been done before everyone always says it is crazy and it won't work, but i say lets just see what happens, because if they can sack their manager after 10 games in 19/20 and their assistant coach, who's only previous experience was managing Hoffenheim in the 3rd and 4th tier, can come in and win them 6 trophies in that season, anything can happen.
Vizeh is a Burnley fan with a really sound POV on the club and Kompany. Definitely give him a watch 😊
"Being a household name is one of the most valuable things out there" Sebastian Hoeness Uncle is Uli Hoeness who "owns" Bayern Munich and his name/connections is one of the main reasons why he got the Hoffenheim and Stuttgart Job.
2:18 Sean Dyche is among one of the most underrated managers in football

He got Burnley Europa
Dyche is Mourinho and Conte on Steroids without the tactical genius.
@@maxomat4319 keeping burnley up for several seasons and reaching europe requires some degree of tactical mastery fam

@@j.s3300 this is Bayern Munich, how is that a bad job??? Always UCL Quaterfinalists, always expected to be Bundesliga Champions, recruitment policy is the best in the world. Literally a free trophy club to statpad your CV if your great manager

@@j.s3300 the people rejecting it already have jobs, and they would like to be loyal to their clubs and fans, some want to achieve new heights with the same club like Xabi otherwise it's a no-brainer they would go to Liverpool.

Dear Zealand.
Please take a look into the madness, that was the danish championship, where Broendby if were in the lead of the championship 3 times doing the final rounds, while not only losing the lead twice and regaining it twice to twice different teams, with 3 other teams just a handful of points away. And then today losing it in the last round. With the final champions, FC Midtjylland, being behind 0-2 at first half - then coming back 3-2 15 minuts into 2nd half and ending 3-3. While BIF lost their game and their matchball 2-3 to AGF - a team no where near the top, but also won last round against Fc Copenhagen.
Its been an INSANE 10 rounds.
I think a big thing why Kompany will be the manager instead of a whole bunch of people you listed, is that he speaks german, something that (for some reason) is really important for the Bayern board.
Tbh tho I think Kompany will do great in Bayern
He is a mediocre manager.
As a Anderlecht fan: we played the best we have since our takeover and new ownership under him. You think of anderlecht as a belgian giant but it was far from that when he was given the keys. The club was in financial ruin. Our new owner has been trying his hardest to correct ever since, but Kompany gave us our best football and finishes since our last title.
Cape Town City fc baby 🇿🇦🥳🥳 we spoiled sundowns unbeaten record on the league. That felt so good
I actually went and searched to make sure it's really City 😂😅
Thought I was the only one that noticed 😅
Yo what are you doing here bro😂😂
I want to give Vincent Kompany a chance because Klopp and Xabi Alonso were also relegated with Mainz and Real Sociedad B Team before they moved to Dortmund and Leverkusen. Both managers won the Bundesliga title. I like when Football Clubs take risks.
But I'm also afraid because he got 0,63 points per game with Burnley in the Premier League. Klopp studied sport science and started his manager career like at 34 years old at Mainz as a player manager, therefore back then he was already a very talented and smart manager and motivator.
Xabi Alonso grew up with Football and learnt from his father, who was a manager and he learnt from the best managers, when he was a player. Therefore Alonso has much more experience to be a top manager.
Now Kompany has a similar story compared to these two. He was a player manager at RSC Anderlecht, where he ended his player career at 35 years old. He also learned from Guardiola like Alonso and Arteta did.
But Kompany misses the sport science academic of a Klopp, and the experience in big matches like Xabi did in the Spain national team and the Champions League. Even Arteta misses the experience in the national team and in the Champions League, that's why Arsenal bottled in the Champions League because of the lack of the Champions League experienced players and managers.
I say that Kompany will flop at Bayern because he only learned from Guardiola for 3 years and he isn't as smart as a Klopp. I don't think that with his experience, he will perform good in the Champions League, maybe only in the Bundesliga because he plays offensive 4-2-3-1 tactic. Managers like Guardiola, Ancelotti and Alonso had a way more succesful player career than him. I don't think that he has the qualties to becomes a world class manager like Klopp, Alonso, Ancelotti and Guardiola.
Wdym with Kompany misses the experience in big matches?
Your assessment on Kompany’s playing career is crazy. He’s wildly considered a top 10 all time CB in the Prem. He captained City to multiple league titles as well as captained Belgium. Also Ancelotti literally played with all time greats at AC Milan like Maldini, Baresi, Rijkaard, Gullit & van Basten. He had loads of help in winning those European trophies compared to Kompany…
Trust in Kompany. He got Burnley promoted with a record 101 pts thanks to his Dynamic Attacking Football. Issue is he didn't get the players he needed to keep up at Premier level. Bundesliga's going to be real interesting next season.
Burnley gave him a lot of freedom in the player signing department, which ended up being a big problem, Bayern doesn't give that kind of freedom to coaches.
@@LuffyL-ch1kuBurnley sold their best players the summer he arrived & he still got them promoted. & they didn’t necessarily give him much freedom in the transfer department. They said, “this is what money have, where should we improve?” They couldn’t replace a Pope, Cornet, McNeil or Collins with like for like transfers…
The best case scenario it works out for Bayern like Frank Rijkaard worked out for Barcelona. He coached Sparta Rotterdam to their first regulation in team history in the 2001-2002 season. Frank's next job was coaching Barcelona in the 2003-2004 season. Under Frank Barca won a few La Liga titles, and the Champions League. Some coaches just fit better at big clubs. You have greater potential to implement your system at a big club with big name talent and massive financial resources. I think Kompany will be up to the challenge.
Fun fact sebastian hoeneß is the nephew of bayern boss uli hoeneß and that angle ironically made a transfer more complicated instead of less. No matter the details, he already publicly stated he would stay at stuttgart before bayern was at the final stage of "we 100% need a new coach"
Vincent Kompany speaks German well, like many Dutch do. I believe it is taught in many schools, plus he played at Hamburg for a few years. At Bayern that is still an important thing. Pep made a point of learning German when he came to Bayern, Ancelotti did not and that was a big part of why that was not working. Bayern and Ancelotti never really "got" one another. So after Ancelotti they prioritized German speakers again. Therefore many coaches of your list were not an option because of their lack of speaking German. It's different for players, but for coaches it's deemed necessary.
This screams Lovie Smith going to the Houston Texans (to use another sport as an example). Bayern Munich are treading water until one of the managers they want becomes available. No one is going to bat an eyelid when Kompany gets sacked in a year.
Kompany actually makes a lot of sense if you take everything in consideration. He speaks german (stated by the club this is important to them), english (universal) and french (a lot of french speaking players in the club). Neither Amorim nor de Zerbi can offer this. Also Kompanys style of play is heavily influenced by Pep who is still loved by Bayern fans and the Bayern board to this day. Also we were very short on decend options and Xabi Alonso just proved you can be an amazing coach without a lot of experience, just being a good ex-player.
Having said all this, I still think he wont make it to the end of his contract, bc Bayern have been very impatiant with coaches in the last decade and also better options will arise the upcoming summer (Hoeneß, Alonso, Klopp) or in the Summer of 2026 (Nagelsmann).
I love these discussions
That Burnley squad was atrocious, maybe even worse than Luton. Pep would get relegated with that squad because of his style of play. Its not like it was Bayerns first choice so i see it.
I was hoping they would at least contact Mourinho. I would love for Harry Kane to get a Cl final again and potentially win
Bayern asked pep for suggestions and he put his boy on 😂😂😂
It's a two fold thing:
1. the era of the manager is ending. Big clubs do not want a manager, they want a head coach. They want a front office set up similar to American sport
2. Nobody with any reputation will accept being the 18th choice. I think Bayern has actually made a good decision because Kompany has way more upside and potential than anyone else who is going to conceivably accept being the 84th choice.
Ten Haag would’ve been a choice had we not already started talks with Kompany. He worked for the club, understands our philosophy & would help develop our youth. Just hope Kompany will help develop if the stars don’t play to standard. I’d rather lose knowing we’re developing a future than constantly dive into the transfer market
Bayern said during the season that they keep an eye on Sebastian Hoeneß but hes to young and just had one good season. So they didnt wanted him. And now they getting Kompany. LOL
Hoeneß didnt want to leave, stop inventing
Complete fabrication
Bayern HAVE gone crazy! Zealand you are killing me!
Casually wearing a Cape town city FC shirt lol
Erik Ten Hag learned the trade at Bayern. Apparently Tuchel already signed with United.
Ten Haag, as crazy as it may sound, was the one of the names I was expecting to come up & hoped for… he knows our club through & through. I think he also would’ve been good in developing our youth. My sole problem with Kompany is that I think he will only use our star players & ask to delve into the transfer market if they fail. I’m perfectly fine with missing out on trophies as long as we’re developing our own players in the process. We’re historically not a big spending club. If we dive into the market, spend big & fail, it will have all been a waste. We have some damn good prospects
Kompany interview 🤣
all i can guess is, that behind that is the thinking of Max Eberl (the new sporting director of Munich), which would mean, that he has made the upper management give him free reign to do HIS thing (probably was part of taking the job).
IF that is correct - again: im guessing wildly - it would mean Bayern is in for a full re-structuring regarding how they utilize their youth academy and the way they scout . Could be interesting ton watch.
And also: they burned so many bridges on the coach-front the last years, starting with the "stealing" and then fast sacking of Nico Kovac, that they literally cant be that picky atm - hence all the rejections.
Love the Cape Town City kit
My guess is Bayern want that Pep-type manager or what COULD be a Pep-type manager. They see Xabi Alonso's success and think they could replicate it through Kompany, even then Alonso is not 100% Pep he's a combination style of a lot of managers that coached him.
Failing upwards... That has to be like the feeling you get while riding a roller coaster
It does reek of a stop gap, they seem to be banking on the Xabi train or waiting for top quality coach to become available next season so I feel regardless Kompany will be replaced tbh
congratz to Xabi Alonso for his back to back
madness
The metaphors is always hitting, bro
Watching this in the grandstands of the Indy 500 during the weather delay

For anyone curious, Leverkusen's wage bill is somewhere comparable between brighton and fullham. And stuttgart's is like shefdield utd.
As far as I know Uli Hoeness said he didnt want to burn his nephew Sebastian Hoeness right after his first big season. He wants him to develop first and then when he has proven to be the real deal he can come to Bayern, so even if he fails other clubs would give him a chance. Oh and I think that the choice of Kompany had something to do with him speaking german, which seems to be very important.
They even tryed to take benfica manager. They were desperate to sign someone. Kompany was just the first to say yes.
I actually think this could work out well, Kompany's tactics need players that are capable and once it clicks, it's a 101 point Championship season
The Cape Town City shirt looks so good
Love the Cape Town City shirt you got Zealand 🤭🇿🇦
Pioli would have fit Bayern’s style of high intensity attacking football. I’ve never heard him speak anything other than Italian though so I’m not sure how well he’d do outside Italy
One of the criteria for being considered was already speaking German (or at least it was rumored,, but id fully buy that knowing our board)
Dont forget that Höneß was the manager of bayern München 2(ll) and he won the 3.Liga in 2020 with them (but due to the League rules, unable to move up to 2.Liga). So not only that, but Höneß is in general obviously a well known name in Bayern circles. Someone who was supposed to simply avoid direct relegation, but then broke multiple club records in a single season (ie. most ever points in a season.) and even became vice-champion, and maybe champion if Leverkusen had not had a world class season.... and the madlad officially clarified that he will not join Bayern München :D
I honestly see it working
Love the cape town city shirt,❤
Hoeness made it pretty clear early on that he wants to continue with Stuttgart, he's also the nephew of Bayern's honorary president. Of course, they have talked.
He literally confirmed himself that they never spoke it about it
I've kinda come around on Kompany being the manager. I get he had a bad season, but he has shown the ability to be a good manager. My biggest thing is that former players have been succeeding in managerial roles lately. It's either going to be a huge success and he will be great or it will be terrible, no middle ground. If all else fails he's not that expensive of a stop gap guy to go for Seb Hoeneß or even Klopp next year
Its true, it would be stupid that they didnt contact Sebastian Hoeneß... if he didnt make clear that he is unavialable before they really had a chance to start negotiations.
He said back in March that he wanted to stay at Stuttgart before our whole coaching hire debacle happened. Honestly, good for him. He needs to grow as a manager before having the pressure of our ridiculous board on him
As a Bayern fan, the squad is more of a concern than the coach. This squad peaked a few years ago and the wage bill is hilariously high because of Brazzo. Max Eberl & Christoph Freund got a lot of work to do.
As a Bayern supporter for 20yrs myself, Brazzo made some pretty bad decisions but I don’t think you can blame the wage structure on him. Maybe giving Sané €20m at the start of his contract was a bit much, but everyone else received their extensions & pay raises after the 20/21 season when they were still decently competitive & showed they might be able to replicate good form. I just hope that if this squad doesn’t, Kompany doesn’t stick to our stars & the board is ok with integrating more our youth. We have some great prospects right now
Pep did say Vincent would be a great manager, and will be the future city manager, game recognise game, he'll do well.
Are you wearing a Cape Town City shirt? 😮
Its a strange appointment. But Chelsea hired Frank Lampard when all he had done is nearly get a championship team promoted. What had Alonso done until Leverkusen this season? Burnley blew the Championship away because they had a great team for that level. Once they moved up they did not. Kompany with a Munich squad is more like Kompany in the championship not the PL
Edit: Also not to mention Chelsea and Man United currently being linked with managers that only have Champioship experience right now. Sure they've never been relegated from the PL but thats most likely because they haven't had the chance to.
Maybe they’ll hire Ted lasso next season
Okay, fm is super realistic. Let me explain.
I have a journeyman fm22 save where I went from my hometown club to Saint Etienne then Wolfsburg which went badly. Then I left for Betis and narrowly avoided relegation. I felt like my save was over, next thing you know I apply for some positions including the opening at PSG because I have no shame sometimes and got an interview, eventually the job. How did that happen? Let me explain.
Turns out Man city had a bad season so they fired their manager, but the summer has started, what do they do? Hire Jurgen Klopp of course, but Liverpool now need a manager, who do they hire? Pep Guardiola of PSG of course. Guess which club is now desperate for a manager to prepare for the new season and guess who is also available, a manager with only 7-ish years of experience that got a newly promoted Saint Etienne to a Europa League spot (1 point away from the Champions League) and Took an aging Denmark team to the Euro semi-final.
I thought, I lucked out. Turns out FM was just being strangely realistic. There might have been an FM Zealand ranting at my appointment as well.
Stuttgart coach just renewed the contract for another 3 years. I dont think he plan moving from there this season.
At some point i'll seriously considder my FM career to be a viable background for one of these manager spots in football nowadays.
A lot of the other possible managers you mentioned arent considered because one of Bayern Most crucial criterias is that the Manager has to speak german. Vincent Kompany is fluent in german
Kompany is a good coach mark my words they will win the champions league next season
If they really wanted someone with that profile they should have called Miroslav Klose.
He was a Bayern player, he is one of the most respected German players ever, was a youth and Co trainer at Bayern and just had a really bad season in Austria and has no trainer job at the moment
Cape Town City football shirt. crazy stuff. i live in Cape Town (South Africa)
The key for Kompany here is that he plays football the way Bayern wants to play football and the way the squad is suited to doing. Bayern have tried signing the likes of Kovac, Nagelsmann and Tuchel based on their accomplishments over considering how compatible their football is with the squad, hoping that the squad and manager will eventually click. This hire is clearly taking suitability into account over pedigree.
Of course, the fact that Bayern went to try and sign three different managers with different styles of play and different preferred formations is a sign that perhaps it wasn't as well thought out as one might hope.
fair play to vincent kompany, man went from coaching burnley and getting relegated to getting the bayern job genuinely sound geeza aswell
everyone is trying to find their zidane
Imagine if Kompany beats everyone and breaks Kane’s curse
So much good managers out here and they go for komapny , will it be shrewd decision ? Will he prove with world class players his system works ?
I don't see how this is crazy at all. Kompany's Burnley played great football and got surprisingly promoted at least a season before they intended to.
Projecting Kompany sounds like ETH at United projecting his future - yeah they jst won against City but the season was abismal and his whole last conference was him defending himself talking abt the “future” & his “project”, instead of being confident and shutting down criticism, he fed into it.
Imagine going from coaching Jay Rodriguez to Harry Kane
Tbh, VK was one of my two "dream scenarios" besides Motta, but it was just that, a dream/fantasy scenario. However, as often the case today, reality went from fantasy to outdated quite fast but in retrospect it was the only solution. Bayern is a very unique club in terms of who runs it and the powers in play were against tuchel as well as the board that appointed him (which was appointed by the powers in play). The Powers in play thought they would just need to offer Alonso the job and as was custom in germany, when Bayern calls, you follow. But that did not happen. And Sebastian Hoeneß declined and extended with Stuttgart. And Rangnick and Nagelsmann declined. Favre declined in Swiss TV, Roger Schmidt declined before even being approached by the club. Also expect "German speaking" to be an absolute must for a Bayern Coach, which rules out basically all international coaches if they are not willing to learn like Pep did. So in the end, since Hansi Flick also was no option as he made clear he would prefer barcelona and except the powers in play nobody in the club wanted Flick, Kompany was the only choice apart from you standard everyday average Bundesliga coach, where the backlash would be even bigger than now... Imagine Tayfun Korkut or Tim Walter becoming Bayern coach.
So while i think the solution is actually the right one, it is for all the wrong reasons and i expect this to fail spectacularly. But not a single piece of the failure will be on Kompany, but everything, like all the shit that goes wrong for years now but was masked because contrary to common belief Bundesliga is utter trash, is on the powers in play, who seemingly, not unlike their "generational compatriots" across the globe, love to tear down their lifes work before said life ends.
No way that Burnley team would've got promotion this season, they had a lucky year to bounce back up.
Pep gave Kompany his props, so they will be good
4:52 that take is so wrong. All we need is someone who can talk to the media without causing 20 meltdowns and 50 new headlines. Thomas Tuchel was unable to do that. Kompany has that skill and he speaks fluent German which is sadly a main criteria. Great appointment
Not to say it’s one-to-one, but Carlo, in his book, talked about being too strict at the beginning of his career at Reggiana, Parma, then Juventus, and failing at the latter two. Then, when he went to Milan, he learned to adapt. Hence, there is always a chance for another great player like Kompany, who could shift his ideas and become an adaptive manager to a situation where he doesn’t have to compensate for the lack of world-class players.
Kompany will have world class players at Bayern. I just hope he doesn’t try to ride them out if they don’t produce. Hopefully, if that happens, he’ll try to implement the youth we have. I personally don’t care if we miss out on trophies as long as we begin to put some faith in our academy
