Bayern beefing with Burnley isn't something i saw coming this year
KOMPANIEEEEE STILLGESTANDEN!!!!!!!They must be utterly stupid .
Kompany is a promising manager in spite of the relegation. And he has the name value from his playing days and more importantly, the stamp of approval from Pep.
That's going to be the new hotness when recruting managers for the next few years. Guys connected to Pep and his school of football. Clubs will want their own answer to Arteta similarly to how clubs wanted someone connected to Rangnick and the Gegenpress style during the 10s.
This will be fun to follow.
Sometimes a manager just needs a good team to work. De Rossi was utterly horrible at SPAL, and is now flourishing at Roma. Xabi Alonso and Thiago Motta were pretty unspectacular at Sociedad and PSG/Genoa earlier in their careers respectively, and look at both of them now. Maybe Kompany's brand of football needs very good players to work. I wouldn't discount it this quickly as an appointment (maybe because I respect Kompany a lot as a player so there is a bias there), although the risk of it failing is pretty high.Not the best news for Kane this. Just cannot see how a coach who showed such naivety in the Prem last season will suddenly have this giant club competing for the CL and Bundesliga. His player career and the fact Pep was his manager means absolutely nothing as some in the media have tried to suggest, will give him until Xmas
Big risk on Bayern's part you would thibk but absolutely huge (if it happens) for Black managers.
still not a patch on "we'll have a right fakin' sort ahhht in here"

Trained by Pep. Might turn out to be Pep.Probably would of made more sense if he was a Bayern legend
