For one, Vincent Kompany has to be the luckiest man in the world! In a market where managers are getting sacked left, right, and center, the Belgian manager is set for a massive promotion. Just days after being relegated, the Burnley head coach seemed all set for life in the Championship. However, in a surprising turn of events, the Clarets boss will be appointed as the new manager at Bayern Munich. Yes, Bayern Munich!

According to reports, Burnley and Bayern Munich have agreed to the manager’s release clause, with the Bavarians expected to pay Burnley somewhere between $10-$13 million. After signing the 3-year deal, the Belgian will link up with the German side next week, as he looks to take on the biggest challenge of his life.

Kompany had a historic run with Burnley in the Championship in 2022/23 as he helped the team storm the competition finishing first with 101 points. However, things went downhill for the manager this season with the Clarets finishing 19 in the Premier League standings. Burnley registered just 5 wins from their 38 fixtures and the manager will hope that he can do better at the Allianz Arena!

How much has Vincent Kompany made throughout his career?

The ex-Manchester City star is amongst the best defenders in the modern era of the Premier League. Kompany throughout his career has been a top draw with the player accumulating a reported net worth of $45 million. The Belgian started his career for Anderlecht and it didn’t take him time before grabbing attention from top clubs. Kompany’s move to Manchester City saw him make most with the player reportedly netting $10-12 million per season.

Apart from his earnings on the field, the defender is a smart investor when it comes to managing money. Vincent Kompany has made investments in multiple sporting bars while also serving as the chairman of BX Brussels. Additionally, the Burnley head coach is signed with multiple brands, with the player signing deals with Puma and Pepsi Max. Unlike what reports suggest, the defender is actually fond of sports cars. The defender has been seen cruising in his Mustang GT and Porsche Panamera from time to time.

The Belgian has a tremendous opportunity on his hands as he plans to move to Germany. Only time will tell if Vincent Kompany can silence his critics and help Bayern Munich bounce back. Do you think the former Burnley manager will be successful with Bayern Munich? Let us know in the comments below.
