MUNICH (DPA, CONVERSEER) – Bayern Munich have extended their contract with coach Vincent Kompany until June 2029, the Bundesliga champions said in a statement on Tuesday.
His previous deal was due to expire in the summer of 2027.
“I’m grateful, honoured and would like to thank FC Bayern for the trust and the working environment they’ve given me from day one. 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 coach said.
Kompany arrived in Munich from Burnley ahead of the 2024-25 season and after Bayern had failed to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in a decade under Thomas Tuchel.
In his first season, he led Bayern back to the top of the German league and to the Champions League quarter-finals.

“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,” Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said.
This season, Bayern have won all of their 11 competitive games across all competitions so far.
They top the Bundesliga five points ahead of RB Leipzig. In the Champions League, they are also first but tied on six points with five other teams, including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
They will hope to continue their winning run in the Champions League home match against Club Brugge on Wednesday.
