Vincent Kompany's appointment as the new Bayern Munich head coach has raised eyebrows. His recent relegation to Burnley raises questions about his ability and whether he can guide a club with such stature. Speculations are going around that he might get fired just after one year.
The rumor of him being fired suggests that he does not have the experience and ability to run a big club, plus he just got relegated from the Premier League. Furthermore, his team makes the most mistakes that lead to goals.
The future of the new coach is uncertain. But he has a hard task ahead of him in bringing the German team back to where they should be in the Bundesliga. However, some are already anticipating an early departure from the scene. Bookmaker has released odds, offering an interesting perspective on Kompany's future with Bayern. Exploring these odds seems to indicate that the overall situation is not likely to last.
BettingSites seem doubtful that Kompany will even last the whole season; they have 8/11 odds for him to be fired midseason. The odds even get narrower for him to leave before winter; they have him being sucked before January at 3/1. This suggests a rough start at the beginning of the season could see him dismissed.
There are several scenes that BettingSites has set, and one of them is Bayern going trophyless under Kompany in the 2024–2025 season. The odds of a trophyless season are 4/7, which is significant as Bayern is considered a dominant force in Germany and Europe as a whole. They are a club with a winning mentality, and this will put pressure on the coach that he might not be able to handle.
The second scenario is them being kicked out of the Champions League in the group stage, which is at 5/2. While Bayern are accustomed to finishing in the semi-finals or quarter-finals, it should not be counted out as their head coach is new to the competition, which might prove to be harder for him. The UCL is the most competitive league in club football, and this will be the first time for Kompany.
The third scenario is him getting fired before Christmas; the odds are at 3/1, as pointed out above. This suggests that Kompany's first months of the season will determine his fate. Most importantly, the board's expectations for Kompany and their relationship with him will be a major factor.
Vincent Kompany: Ready To Remove Doubt
Vincent Kompany's future is uncertain; Bayern are not shy about changing manager mid-season and this might happen because of his performances. His struggles with Burnley last season were underwhelming, raising doubts about his ability. The 8/11 odds suggest it will be a cautious start for him.
Bayern has never experienced a group stage exit in the Champions League; the 5/2 odds suggest that he might have a higher chance of exiting. This adds another layer of pressure on Kompany, and experts are wary of him going past the group stage.
While Bayern still remains the favorite to win the Bundesliga, Leverkusen's impressive run last season also creates more challenges that Kompany will face. Xabi will be looking to defend the title, and this will prove to be hard for Kompany as the 4/7 odds suggest he might go trophyless.
This first season will be a tough one for the Belgian; his ability to unite the players and cope with a high-pressure environment will determine his future. The performances of Bayern throughout the season will fluctuate these odds, reflecting the performance of Vincent Kompany.
