Bayern Munich extend coach Kompany’s contract until 2029

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the Bundesliga champions until 2029, the club announced on Tuesday.

Initially not the club’s first-choice appointment in the summer of 2024, the Belgian has quickly silenced doubts by guiding Bayern to reclaim the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen in his debut season.

The 39-year-old former Manchester City captain has made a flying start to the current campaign, with Bayern winning all 11 of their matches across competitions and sitting top of both the Bundesliga and Champions League tables.

“It feels like I’ve been here much longer and that I know the club well,” Kompany said in a statement. “It’s been a great experience so far. We’ve started a wonderful journey, let’s keep working hard and celebrate much more success!”
