New Bayern Munich manager, Vincent Kompany was wanted by three Premier League clubs before joining the Bavarian giants, his father has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if Kompany joining Bayern Munich was a surprise to the whole world, it wasn’t to him, because clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea, and Brighton tried to hire his son before he chose the German club.
His father added that the fact that Bayern Munich is well structured as a club made it impossible to turn them down.
His words, “It was a surprise to the whole world. Well, not for me. If you look at which teams have already come knocking: last year you had Tottenham and Chelsea, now Brighton showed interest, and Chelsea again. But when Bayern, a club that is so well structured at all levels, comes knocking, you don’t refuse.”
On Burnley’s relegation, “At Bayern they did not focus blindly on that relegation. They know Burnley should have gotten more points. They thought it was good that Vincent does not deny his vision when he falls behind.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performancadvisor.
