Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has extended his contract until 2029.
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has signed a two-year extension to his contract, keeping him with the German side until June 2029. Manchester City fans who hoped that he would come to the club if Pep Guardiola leaves now have to find another manager to put their hopes on.
The 39-year-old Belgian took charge of the Bavarian club in May 2024, and his initial deal was set to expire in the summer of 2027.
Kompany led Bayern to the Bundesliga title last season and has won 49 of his 67 games across all competitions. He expressed his gratitude and honor, thanking Bayern for the trust and working environment they’ve given him from day one.
“I’m grateful, honoured and would like to thank Bayern for the trust and the working environment they’ve given me from day one,” Kompany said. “It feels like I’ve been here a lot longer and that I know the club well. It’s been a great experience so far.”
The Belgian manager has started on a wonderful journey with Bayern, and they have begun the 2025-26 campaign by winning the German Super Cup. They currently sit five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern’s club president Herbert Hainer praised Kompany’s work, citing his high regard among players, club management, and fans. “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 Bayern,” Hainer said.
Kompany made his name during a trophy-laden playing career with Manchester City, captaining the side and winning four Premier League titles. He transitioned into management, becoming a player-manager with Anderlecht in 2019 and taking on the role full-time in 2020.
Kompany led Anderlecht to two league titles before being appointed Burnley manager in 2022. He won the Championship in his first season but was relegated from the Premier League the following campaign.
The contract extension solidifies Kompany’s position as Bayern Munich’s manager for the next few years, and he looks forward to continued success with the club.
