Vincent Kompany is all set to be named&nbsp;as&nbsp;the new Bayern Munich manager as the German club looks to appoint the Belgian on a multi-year deal. Bayern, without a manager after Thomas Tuchel’s departure from the club, have missed out on a number of targets&nbsp;including&nbsp; Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;now&nbsp;according&nbsp;to reports in Germany, Bayern are set to appoint Kompany&nbsp;who&nbsp;is currently the&nbsp;manager of English side Burnley.

<h2>Kompany to move from Burnley to Bayern?</h2>

According to&nbsp;reports&nbsp;Bayern held initial talks with Kompany as soon as the Premier League season&nbsp;got over. Kompany&nbsp;is currently employed&nbsp;by Burnley&nbsp;who&nbsp;suffered relegation in his first season in charge in the Premier League. However, that has not stopped him from attracting interest from the six-time European champions. Despite relegation, he has&nbsp;been admired&nbsp;for&nbsp;the job he did&nbsp;at&nbsp;Burnley&nbsp;with whom he won the Championship (second division) title in the 2022-23 season.

After missing out on managers like Alonso and Nagelsmann, the Bavarian club&nbsp;was also unable to&nbsp;bring in former Manchester United boss Ralf Ragnick. The former Schalke boss refused to take the job despite advance talks and opted to continue with the Austria national team.

Kompany, on&nbsp;the other&nbsp;hand, will land a big job for the first time in his career, having enjoyed spells with Anderlecht and then Burnley.&nbsp;The former Manchester City captain plays an attacking style of football&nbsp;which&nbsp;saw Burnley earn promotion but also faced backlash in the Premier League&nbsp;which&nbsp;led&nbsp;to his side’s relegation.

Bayern had a disappointing 2023-24 season, where they finished third in the Bundesliga and&nbsp;were knocked&nbsp;out of the DFB Pokal in the early stage. The only silver lining on the poor season was the run in the Champions League&nbsp;semifinal&nbsp;where they lost to Real Madrid in a controversial end to the second leg.

While&nbsp;a late push was made&nbsp;to keep Tuchel at the club despite&nbsp;earlier&nbsp;announcing his departure from the club, Bayern were unable to strike a deal.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is now expected&nbsp;that Kompany could be announced as the new manager next week&nbsp;with&nbsp;the club now targeting the transfer window to help bolster the squad.

Vincent Kompany set to succeed Thomas Tuchel as new Bayern Munich manager - Reports

There will be no U-turn at Bayern Munich for Thomas Tuchel&nbsp;as&nbsp;the outgoing manager confirmed his departure on Friday (May 17) in a pre-match press conference.&nbsp;Tuche was earlier reported&nbsp;to be&nbsp;open to staying at the German club despite his departure&nbsp;being confirmed&nbsp;in early February.&nbsp;However, those rumours were brought to an end on Friday when Tuchel addressed his final press conference.&nbsp;

<h2>Tuchel shuts the door on staying at&nbsp;Bayern</h2>

“The feedback from recent weeks was the foundation for us having a discussion to stay and continue together… but we&nbsp;couldn't&nbsp;reach an agreement. I&nbsp;won't&nbsp;name the reasons. The agreement from February stands, I&nbsp;am leaving Bayern,”&nbsp;Tuchel said in his final press conference for Bayern Munich ahead of the Hoffenheim match on Saturday.&nbsp;

The German was appointed Bayern Munich manager in March 2023, but with mixed results and poor form at the turn of the year, the management pulled the plug and decided to part ways with him.

However, the German side&nbsp;since&nbsp;February&nbsp;was trying hard to convince several targets but failed on each occasion.&nbsp;

The&nbsp;list of&nbsp;potential candidates included former boss and now Germany national team manager Julian Nagelsmann, former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Ragnick and Bayer&nbsp;Leverkusen’s&nbsp;Xabi Alonso. However, all of them turned down the chance to become manager,&nbsp;leaving Bayern with no option but to discuss a potential stay for Tuchel.&nbsp;

Despite&nbsp;the announcement of&nbsp;his departure in the summer, the&nbsp;50-year-old continued to impress and led Bayern to the semifinals of the Champions&nbsp;League&nbsp;where they beat Arsenal in the quarterfinal.

They&nbsp;were only denied&nbsp;a place in the final after a poor and controversial call in the final minute of the second leg denied them an equalising goal.

On the other side, Tuchel was also interested in staying, according&nbsp;to some reports, after Manchester United decided to pull out of negotiations in signing him as the new manager.

It will now be interesting to&nbsp;see what the future holds for the German manager while a hunt for the new manager continues at Bayern.&nbsp;

Thomas Tuchel confirms Bayern Munich exit despite U-turn rumours; Manchester United move hangs in balance

Bayern Munich’s reign as Bundesliga champions officially came to an end on Sunday (April 14) after Bayer Leverkusen’s 5-0 win over Werder Bremen. The German giants who enjoyed 11 years as the league champions are seeking to find a replacement for outgoing manager Thomas Tuchel. And one name high on the list is former coach Julian Nagelsmann, who is currently managing Germany's national team. According to reports, Bayern are in advance talks with the German gaffer and will soon make an audacious move for him.

<h2>Bayern Munich hunt for Nagelsmann</h2>

As per reports by Sky Germany on Tuesday (April 16), Bayern have had initial talks with Nagelsmann’s representatives. The German boss, who will manage the national side at the Euro 2024 at home will be the favourite to land the job having previously been in charge of the side between 2021 to 2023. While Xabi Alonso was the desired target for the Bavarians, that possibility was put to an end last week when he confirmed his desire to stay at Bayer Leverkusen.

Having earlier announced the departure of Thomas Tuchel in February, Nagelsmann along with Jurgen Klopp and Xabi Alonso were in the race. However, with Klopp not interested in the job and Alonso happy to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, Nagelsmann was the key contender.

As things stand, nothing is official as Nagelsmann’s current job is to help Germany win the Euro 2024. Germany haven’t won the Euro since 1996 when they beat the Czech Republic in the final and have been without silverware on the international stage since 2017 when they won the FIFA Confederations Cup.

<h2>Outside candidates for the job</h2>

The German giants are also keeping tabs on Zinedine Zidane and Franck Ribery as his assistant. Zidane comes with a proven track record of winning the Champions League and La Liga during his time at Real Madrid. Zidane is a free agent and has not taken a job since 2021 when he left Real Madrid during his second spell.

Hansi Flick is another option on the table who has been a free agent and is a popular name at the club. Flick won the 2020 Champions League including the DFB Pokal and Bundesliga title at the club.
