Bundesliga side FC Bayern and head coach Vincent Kompany have extended their contract until 30 June 2029.

Kompany’s current deal was due to expire in summer 2027.

The 39-year-old arrived in Munich from Burnley FC in England ahead of the 2024/25 season and guided the team to the Bundesliga title in his first season. The Belgian also lifted the Super Cup with Bayern at the start of this season.

“I’m grateful, honoured and would like to thank FC Bayern for the trust and the working environment they’ve given me from day one,” said the former Manchester City captain.

“It feels like I’ve been here a lot longer and that I know the club well. It’s been a great experience so far. We’ve started on a wonderful journey. Let’s keep working hard and celebrate much more success!”

FC Bayern president Herbert Hainer says the club’s decision to extend their contract addresses matters of continuity and stability.

“The contract extension with Vincent Kompany is a strong vote of confidence from the club after the great job he’s done up to now, as well as a clear sign for continuity and stability at FC Bayern. Vincent is held in high regard by the players, the club management and the fans. We’re happy about the early extension of our cooperation.”

Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO, added: “Vincent has brought the fun back to FC Bayern – and the spark has really caught on. Under his leadership, a real team has grown that plays dominant and attractive football. The extension is also a signal to our players. Moreover, I like Vincent’s level-headedness. He never pushes himself into the limelight and makes our players better with his meticulous work.”
