Among tactical implementation, developing players and dealing with the media, keeping a healthy dressing room atmosphere is one of the most important roles for a football manager. Managers can be strong tacticians but a failure to keep the dressing room under control could lead to total collapse-something Vincent Kompany's predecessors, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, learnt the hard way. In contrast, the 39-year-old Belgian manager is capitalizing on his emotional intelligence to find the perfect balance at Bayern Munich.

But in the final two games of the first half of the campaign in the new year, the Munich men have further underlined their superiority in emphatic fashion and now set an incredible record to boot! With 47 points and a goal difference of +53, head coach Vincent Kompany 's men have completed the best first half of a season in the history of the German top flight.

Ahead of the first competitive match of 2026, head coach Vincent Kompany will share his thoughts on the clash in his regular pre-match press conference.
