Burnley boss Vincent Kompany is a surprise name on Bayern Munich’s list of potential candidates to become their new coach.
Bayern have struggled to find a replacement for Thomas Tuchel, whose exit was confirmed last week after initially being announced in February.
Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, Germany chief Julian Nagelsmann and current Austria coach Ralf Rangnick have all turned the job down.
Talks about persuading Tuchel to stay on failed to reach a positive conclusion, leaving Bayern with a problem.
Kompany has built a decent reputation in his time at Anderlecht and Burnley, although the Clarets relegation following lofty pre-season expectations has not reflected well on the Belgian.
However, he has knowledge of the Bundesliga from his time as a player at Hamburg and speaks German.
If Bayern were to make a formal approach, it is sure to be attractive to Kompany, who signed a five-year contract extension at Burnley in 2023 but who refused to answer questions about his future in the aftermath of Sunday’s defeat at Nottingham Forest.
