‘Pep Gave Me the Belief to Coach’, Says Bayern’s Kompany
Vincent Kompany credits his former mentor Pep Guardiola for giving him the confidence to become a manager. Guardiola announced he is leaving Manchester City today, and Kompany praised the Catalan coach’s leadership ahead of the German Cup final. Kompany captained City under Guardiola for three seasons, winning back-to-back Premier League titles in 2018 and 2019. He says the trust and belief Guardiola placed in him made working together “a gift.” Since taking charge of Bayern Munich in 2024, Kompany has won two Bundesliga titles. He believes Guardiola’s relentless desire to win shaped his own hunger for success as a coach.
