""Kompany learned a lot from Pep Guardiola. When Max Eberl suggested Kompany as the third or fourth option, Karl-Heinz and I called Pep Guardiola, with whom we are both very good friends, and asked him. Pep said, 'You can take him blindly, he's a fantastic coach, he'll even take over Man City someday when I'm no longer there.' - Vincent is there at 7:30 in the morning and leaves at 6 in the evening. He's someone who talks to the players. He wants to make every player better every day. Few do that. He does it every single day," said Hoeneß."
"Now, Kompany only recently extended his contract at Bayern Munich, which will keep him at the club until June 2029. Guardiola, meanwhile, has a contract with the citizens until 2027. So, if City want to bring him to the Etihad when Pep leaves, they will have to buy out his contract with Bayern Munich. That will not come cheap - if it does happen, expect a fee higher than the one Bayern paid for Nagelsmann back in 2021 (around 25 million euros)."
Pep Guardiola regards Vincent Kompany as a potential future Manchester City manager and holds him in high esteem. Kompany displays intense daily work habits, arriving early, leaving late, speaking regularly with players and focusing on improving each individual. Kompany extended his Bayern Munich contract through June 2029 while Guardiola’s Manchester City deal runs until 2027. A City move before 2029 would require Bayern to agree to a significant buyout likely exceeding the roughly €25 million Nagelsmann fee in 2021. Kompany has proven himself as a top domestic coach, though Champions League credentials remain under evaluation.
