Praise from the top levels of a club like Bayern Munich is never handed out lightly, which makes president Herbert Hainer’s recent assessment of Vincent Kompany especially meaningful. As president, Hainer has a unique vantage point on both performances and dressing-room dynamics, and his words suggest the Belgian coach is shaping something that extends beyond results alone.
“He’s doing an incredibly good job. We’re playing very, very attractive football, scoring a lot of goals. The team is having
fun, you can see that on the pitch – but also after the games. There’s an incredible sense of togetherness. The coach is responsible for that, and he’s doing an excellent job – both from a sporting and human perspective,” Hainer told Sky Germany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
The statement highlights two defining elements of Kompany’s tenure so far: identity and unity. Attractive, attack-minded football has always been expected in Munich, but pairing that style with visible joy and cohesion throughout the squad is what transforms strong form into something sustainable over an entire season.
Just as notable is the emphasis on the “human perspective.” Managing an elite locker room requires emotional intelligence as much as tactical clarity, and Kompany appears to be delivering both. If this harmony between entertainment, effectiveness, and togetherness continues, the support from leadership will only strengthen—and Vincent Kompany could be laying the foundation for a memorable chapter in Bayern’s modern era.
