    Bayern Munich extend Vincent Kompany contract to 2029

    Vincent Kompany

    Vincent Kompany has signed a new contract to remain head coach at Bayern Munich until summer 2029, extending his original deal that was set to run until 2027.

    The Belgian manager took over Bayern in summer 2024 and guided them to Bundesliga glory in his first season, winning the title back off Bayer Leverkusen.

    He then picked up more silverware this August with the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

    “It feels like I’ve been here a lot longer and that I know the club well,” former Manchester City captain Kompany said in a statement.

    “It’s been a great experience so far. We’ve started on a wonderful journey. Let’s keep working hard and celebrate much more success!”

    “I’m delighted about this extension,” said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl. “When we signed Vinny, we had a clear imagination of our path together, and he’s quickly proved that he’s taking Bayern forward both on and off the pitch.

    “He’s a figure of identification who unites the players, the fans and everyone at the club. And we want to create something long term with him.”

    The 39-year-old coach has Bayern flying with 11 wins in 11 games this season, sitting atop the Champions League and Bundesliga tables.

    Over his 67 competitive matches at the helm, Kompany has won 49 (nine draws, nine defeats). His record in the Bundesliga reads 32 wins, seven draws, and only two defeats across 41 matches, which works out at 2.51 points per game. Only Pep Guardiola boasts a better return in the league’s history (2.52).
