Bayern on alert? ManCity set their sights on Vincent Kompany
Mar 27 2026 08:10 · By onefootball.com · 55 Reads
A new rumor is attracting attention at FC Bayern : Vincent Kompany is being touted as a possible successor to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. But a departure from Munich is currently not a realistic scenario
Guardiola’s future with the Sky Blues is on shaky ground despite his contract running until 2027. There are growing indications in England that the Spaniard’s era could end as early as next summer. Accordingly, the first brainstorming sessions for a successor are already underway in the background
As reported by Sky , Bayern coach Vincent Kompany is also a concrete candidate. The Belgian knows the club like no other, played for Manchester for over a decade and was a formative figure in the club’s success story
Kompany has established a clear signature at FC Bayern in a very short space of time and led the record champions back to the top of Europe
This combination makes him a logical option for City

Despite the interest, there is currently no cause for concern from Munich’s point of view. As things stand, Kompany’s departure is very unlikely, as the pay-TV broadcaster reports
The 39-year-old feels at home at FC Bayern , appreciates the stability at the club and maintains a close relationship with the sporting management around Max Eberl and Christoph Freund
What’s more, Bayern didn’t put their money where their mouth is until October 2025 and extended the contract with their coach early until 2029 – without an exit clause
It comes as no surprise that Kompany is still on the lists of top European clubs, as his work in Munich has made him one of the most exciting coaching personalities in international soccer
For the moment, however, the situation is clear: Kompany is not thinking about a change, but about the decisive phase of the season with FC Bayern
Especially with a view to the Champions League and the clash against Real Madrid, the focus is entirely on sporting success
Nevertheless, this personnel matter shows that FC Bayern not only has top players at its disposal – but also a coach who is arousing desires throughout Europe.
