In its release announcing the contract extension for head coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich also provided the reactions from president Herbert Hainer, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, and board member for sport Max Eberl:
Herbert Hainer, president: “The contract extension with Vincent Kompany is a strong vote of confidence from the club after the great job he’s done up to now, as well as a clear sign for continuity and stability at FC Bayern. Vincent is held in high regard by the players, the club management
and the fans. We’re happy about the early extension of our cooperation.”
Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO: “Vincent Kompany has brought the fun back to FC Bayern – and the spark has really caught on. Under his leadership, a real team has grown that plays dominant and attractive football. The extension is also a signal to our players. Moreover, I like Vincent’s level-headedness. He never pushes himself into the limelight and makes our players better with his meticulous work.”
Max Eberl, board member for sport: “I’m delighted about this extension. When we appointed Vinny, we had a clear vision of our shared path and he quickly proved that he would help FC Bayern move forward – both on and off the pitch. He’s a role model who unites players, fans and everyone at the club, and we want to build something long-term with him.”
With this deal in place, Bayern Munich will now likely start to address and focus on the multitude of player contracts that are up for review.
