Speaking to Bild, the Bayern supervisory board member highlighted Kompany's immediate connection with players and passion for the team. 'He has achieved exactly what Thomas Tuchel was never able to do here,' Hoene stated.
Kompany, who joined as Tuchel's successor in summer 2024 and signed a contract until 2029 in October, avoids making player issues public, 'empowering his players instead of weakening them,' according to Hoeneß.
