Vincent Kompany, Bayern’s new coach, not only achieved success on the field but also tried his hand in many different fields.

Kompany’s childhood was not easy, even almost causing him to leave football. At the age of 14, Kompany was expelled from school for spending too much time with the Belgian youth team, and was later removed from this team. In 2019, he admitted that the local Ԁrug and gаng-riddled environment of his childhood may have led him down “completely the wrong path”.

Luckily, Kompany overcame the difficulties and started his career at Anderlecht before moving to Hamburg and then Man City. He became a legend of The Citizens when he wore the captain’s armband and led the team to win 4 Premier League championships, 2 FA Cups and 4 League Cups.

Kompany retired from Man City and began his coaching career at his childhood club Anderlecht. After showing his talent in the Belgian championship, he was appointed to lead Burnley in the English First Division (Championship).

Kompany is married to Carla Higgs

In the 2022/23 season, Kompany helped Burnley promote back to the Premier League with beautiful attacking play, receiving many compliments. Despite spending a lot of money to stay in England’s highest tournament, Burnley was eventually relegated. Despite all that, Bayern still saw Kompany’s potential and came to a 3-year deal .

Not only famous on the field, Vincent Kompany also makes many people admire him with his efforts to learn and try his hand in business. In 2018, even while wearing the captain’s armband to lead Man City to glory, Kompany still spent time studying and excellently received an MBA (Master of Business Administration) from Manchester Business School.

Kompany is famous for being intelligent and knowledgeable in many languages, including German, English, Spanish and even Italian. In 2011, Kompany married Carla Higgs, a passionate fan of Man City. Currently, the couple has two children: Sienna (13 years old) and Kai (10 years old).

Good Kompany Restaurant

However, not all of Kompany’s business projects are successful. In 2014, he opened two sports bars called “Good Kompany” in Belgium. However, both bars had to close after only one year of operation due to insufficient revenue to cover costs. Kompany shared: “I regret this decision. The number of customers is okay, the revenue is good but not enough to cover costs. This is the first business lesson: investing always has potential risks, there are wins.” , there is loss”.
