You're correct in pointing out the similarities, a lot of people including myself questioned his decision to go to Burnley precisely because of the state they were in having sold everybody of value after their relegation and he showed us all he knew what he was doing.It might not be the most intuitive to think that they are similar jobs, but this is the situation he walked into at Burnley in his first season, just on a much larger scale. It turned out to be the ideal environment at the time. He will be able to make a big overhaul, but this time with 100x as much finances and pulling power. He can build his team in his own image due to the turnover/process stage that Bayern are in, plus they will not then hit a wall the following season like Burnley as there is no promotion into a higher level, they are already there.
Even though they have struggled badly under Tuchel, Bayern should still be considered the dominant team in Germany and one of the stronger teams of Europe if they click into gear in the right system.
I do believe he has what it takes to get this right, he is an incredibly intelligent man both tactically and in the traditional sense of the word, he's also a great man-motivator, and this opportunity has fallen into his lap like a trick of the fates. So many things had to fall into place for this to happen, but sometimes that leads to the most special things, and it's up to him to make this one of those times.
I don't agree. He may have to succeed at a lower level club a to get another chance of a top club but he's only 38 and has plenty of time in management.While i can imagine Kompany still have managerial job, it will never be at top level again if he fail at Bayern.
This his biggest chance to make it big or bust, if he fails not a single club at top level will trust him to give him the job.
He is not at the level of Ancelotti yet whom already have prestigous credentials in various top club around Europe, still able to land Madrid job despite his previous failure managing Everton.
I think people are looking at what Burnley and Kompany have done this season through such a narrow lens, they've just been laying the foundations for a much longer project.Forgetting that it's Vinny for a moment, this seems like Bayern have lost the plot. I expected Klopp to end up there & is this a cheaper way around appointing him around December.
It feels similar to Arsenal taking a risk on Arteta but could go the same way as Potter.
I wish Vinny all the best
Is the right answer, if he does succeed and I hope he does, he will be primed to take over Pep when the time finally arrives for the apprentice to take over the Master...Really excited to see how he fares with world class players at his disposal rather than the dross he had at Burnley
The other side of the coin is Bayern's play fail to respond to Vinny's decisions(similar to Tuchel). For now it is a too bigger step.Really excited to see how he fares with world class players at his disposal rather than the dross he had at Burnley
NopeDoes this mean we have to like the German rags a little bit ?
