Bayern Munich is close to announcing a deal for Burnley boss Vincent Kompany to replace Thomas Tuchel as coach. Kompany has reached an agreement in principle with Bayern, and the club is now working on a compensation package for Burnley, who still has four years on his contract. Burnley was relegated from the Premier League after only one season in the English top flight.
Bayern agreed to part ways with Tuchel in February after falling behind eventual champions Bayer Leverkusen in the title race. Kompany is the latest candidate in a long list linked to Bayern, having played at Hamburg before joining Manchester City. He took over Burnley in 2022 and led them to the Premier League as second-division champions a season later. However, Kompany could not keep Burnley in the top division, with the club relegated in 19th place in the 20-team league.
