There is a prospect that Coach Bang Sang Kompany can move the team.

Spain's Pichahes reported on the 22nd (Korea time) 'Manchester City has chosen Pep Guardiola's ideal replacement'

Pichahes said 'Man City are looking for a replacement for Pep Guardiola as his contract expires. The candidate is Kompany. Kompany, who was a legend of Manchester City as a player, is currently playing well for Bayern Munich as a leader. He was coached by Guardiola for several years. The project he showed at Bayern left a deep impression.

Then 'Man City considered values more important than performance. It is emotional and cultural continuity. Kompany can embody such a legacy. It is also a natural choice to prolong Guardiola's winning cycle, he added.

Kompany, who was known as an outstanding defender when he was active, is showing better-than-expected results even after walking the leader's path. After stepping into the English stage with Burnley's baton in 2022, he received high expectations for his promotion in his first season after taking office, but struggled on the English Premier League (EPL) stage. In his first season after being promoted to the 2023-2024 season, he demoted Burnley to 19th place again.

Since then, Kompany's turnaround, which seemed to be twisted in his coaching career, has been made by Bayern's appointment. Apart from his poor performance, he was constantly praised for his efforts to improve Burnley's team and praised his tactical style to shine more in Bayern, so he brought Kompany.

Kompany's Bayern, which had some anxiety in its first season, is completely on track this season. Bayern, which has won 16 consecutive games since its first official match of this season and has set the first record in Europe's top five leagues, also won 6-2 at home against Freiburg on the 23rd, with 18 undefeated matches (17 wins and 1 draw).

It is natural for the coach who has rewritten European history to be courted, and moreover, Manchester City's interest is a more unsettling temptation for Bayern because Manchester City is Kompany's former team. However, the good thing is that Bayern has renewed its contract with Kompany and extended the contract period until 2029. As a Bayern coach, he is also likely to maintain his career for the time being.

Kompany, who made a turnaround from the second-division coach to Bayern, is growing into a master who is courted by Manchester City. More fans are expected to pay attention to how far Kompany's rise will continue.
