Manager Kompany signs new Bayern Munich contract

Vincent Kompany’s contract, which extends for two years, will keep him with Bayern until June 2029.

The former Manchester City great left the Bavarian club in May of 2024, when his initial contract was set to expire in 2027.

The Belgian, 39, won 49 of his 67 games across all competitions, helping Bayern win the Bundesliga title last season.

“I’m grateful, honoured, and would like to thank Bayern for the trust and working environment they’ve provided me from day one,” Kompany said.

“It seems like I’ve been here a lot longer and have a good sense of club life.” So far, it’s been a fantastic experience.

Bayern are five points clear of the top of the Bundesliga after winning the German Super Cup to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

After the excellent job he’s done up until now, the club’s extension of his contract shows a strong sign of continuity and stability, according to club president Herbert Hainer.

The players, club management, and fans hold Vincent in high regard. We’re pleased that our cooperation has grown more quickly.

Kompany became known with his trophy-heavy playing career at Manchester City, where he led the team, made 360 appearances, and won four Premier League titles.

The defender, who had previously announced his retirement from playing, secured his first position in the dugout as a player-manager with boyhood club Anderlecht in 2019.

Before being appointed manager of Burnley in 2022, he led the Belgian club to two league titles.
