The long-running Bayern Munich (GER) head coaching search is finally showing signs of concluding.
“Munich hope to finalize and announce the signing of Vincent Kompany by Wednesday (29),” Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg wrote on social media on Monday. The contract is until the summer of 2027.”
It looks like Munich's on-again, off-again managerial search is finally coming to a close after the club parted ways with Thomas Tuchel. The club announced in February that they would part ways with Tuchel after the season. Since then, the club has been in talks with a number of candidates to replace Tuchel, including Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso, Germany national team coach Julian Nagelsmann, and Austria national team coach Ralf Langnick, but all have failed. When the search for a successor stalled, the organization tried to convince Tuchel to stay on. However, negotiations failed to reach an agreement and the two sides parted ways after the season.
Munich's choice for the job was Kompany. After a long career at Manchester City, where he was a center back and captain, Kompany took charge of Anderlecht (Belgium) after retiring from the game, and has been Burnley's manager since 2022. He led Burnley to EPL promotion 스포츠토토 in the 202-2023 season, but the club was relegated again in 2023-2024, finishing in 18th place.
The news of Kompany's appointment has left Munich fans nervous. He hasn't managed a big club, hasn't coached big-name players, and hasn't really proven himself in the top flight. However, Pep Guardiola, who coached Kompany at Man City, said: “I would be very happy if Munich appointed him. Even if he was relegated with Burnley, I don't have a problem with that. I know him very well and I appreciate his hard work, his character, his knowledge of the game, how he deals with the media and many other things.”
If Kompany's appointment is confirmed, Kim will be working with a legendary defender for the first time in his career. After a roller-coaster season that saw him dropped from the starting lineup at the end of the season, Kim was once touted as a “No. 1” candidate for release, but that has since quieted down. German media outlet TZ explained that Dayo Upamecano, who, like Kim, has missed a lot of chances, could be a good fit for Kompany's tactics, saying, “If he does leave, it will be one of Kim, Matthijs de Ligt or Eric Dier.” However, Kompany hasn't been appointed yet, so we can't be too sure. Kompany's tutelage could be of great benefit to Kim, who has shown that he will continue to compete in Munich.
Tragic news has arrived.
Former UFC champion and fierce fighter Francis N'Gano has lost his infant son. He was just 15 months and two years old when he passed away.
N'Gano announced the loss of his son, Coby, on social media on Monday, writing, “It's too soon to tell, but he's gone. Kobi, my son, my friend, my partner. I called his name but he didn't respond. He was the best by my side. I have no idea who I am now. Life is hitting me where it hurts the most. It's so unfair, how can I do this to myself. How can I deal with this. How can I live with this. I can't think of anything. Please help me.”
Messages of condolence poured in following the tragic news. His friends and colleagues in the martial arts and sports world shared their condolences. One message stood out. It was from soccer player Benik Afobe.
Benik Afobe was an Arsenal youth soccer player who was unlucky enough to never play a game for the Gunners. However, the striker went on to play for Wolverhampton, Bournemouth, Stoke City, and now Al Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The grief, pain, and tears of losing a child. You can't imagine how much it hurts. Apobe's message resonated because he had been through the same experience as Ngano. In 2019, Apobe had to send his daughter to heaven due to a rare disease. Apobe, who was playing for Stoke City in England at the time, went on loan to Trabzonspor in 토토사이트 Turkiye to help him cope with his grief. The English Premier League, the Championship (second division), and the rest of the country mourned Apobe's loss.
Apobe, who had experienced that grief, was able to tell Ngano. Apobe left this message.
“I'm sorry, I went through the same thing. It is the most painful emotion a parent can go through. May God give you and your family strength in this difficult time.”
Apobe's 2022 interview also resurfaced. He said then
“There are parents who lose their children. I hope I can show them that life can go on. It's not all over, and I'm not saying I'm a role model, but I want to show people who have these scars that you can overcome anything in life.”
