Samuel Osei Kuffour, a legend of Bayern Munich, thinks Vincent Kompany’s hiring as coach will help the German team succeed.
Thomas Tuchel, who departed the European heavyweights at the conclusion of a trophy-free season, was replaced by the former captain of Manchester City.
Despite the fact that Kompany is joining after guiding Burnley back to the Championship after their Premier League relegation, Kuffour feels the Belgian has what it takes to be successful in Germany.
“When he was coming we had a debate on our legends platform. It was a huge debate and I was in support. Why not give somebody the benefit of the doubt? Because I think he understands. From his team, if he had the quality like Man City, he can do better,” he told Angel TV’s Saddick Adams.
“So if he has the quality to be in this great club and the kind of our quality he has. I think he will cause a big surprise in Europe,” he added.
Bundesliga victory will be Bayern Munich’s top aim, but Kuffour thinks Kompany can even succeed in Europe.
“Yes of course. Did we deserve to lose against Real Madrid? Absolutely no. I mean this is how football is but I believe if you have the opportunity to coach a team like Bayer Munich. This is a great thing you have to do to protect your image,” he said.
