Bavarian Podcast Works: Weekend Warm-up Show Season 3, Episode 46 — Bayern Munich is close to hiring Vincent Kompany, let’s discuss the pros, cons, and why there is a lot of risk; Transfer updates on Chris Führich, Jamal Musiala, & Theo Hernandez; + MORE
•
Bayern Munich’s season might be over, but its offseason is already in full swing.
The coaching search could be over, the roster overhaul could be starting, and fans can only sit and wait for everything to play out.
What do we do in the meantime? Let’s discuss it all!
This is what we have on tap for the episode of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Bayern Munich seems very close to hiring Vincent Kompany (where have we heard that before? Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick, Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel Roberto De Zerbi...) and why this time, fans should take it very seriously without feeling like Charlie Brown trying to kick that damn football.
- The positives of hiring Kompany — his playing experience, his ability to relate to players, his style preferences match Bayern Munich’s ideals.
- The negatives — no competitive big game experience, has never coached in major competitions for a high profile club, his locker room command might not jibe with the egos and personalities in Munich, and he just got RELEGATED. All that, plus Bayern Munich cannot afford to miss...again...on this hire.
- What’s the Weekend Warm-up’s verdict? Well, this might be a little risky.
- Aside of that, Chris Führich and Theo Hernandez could be on their way to Bavaria, while Jamal Musiala could be on his way out in 2025.

30:51|The Bundesliga Rundown is coming to an end.Words can't express how thankful I am to everyone who has listened, interacted with me, and been part of my journey to explain the ecosystem around FC Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga.My last episode won't be about a team, but a player: Jakub Błaszczykowski — known in Germany as “Kuba” — is my favourite Bundesliga player of all time. Not because he is better than the likes of Harry Kane or his compatriot Robert Lewandowski, but because his life offers inspiration.From the worst possible odds imaginable to a remarkable career, Kuba's story is about redemption and refusing to let your background define you. It's a story about life. It's a story that makes me love this beautiful game.Thank you ALL!Bavarian Podcast Works — Edges and Underdogs, a BuLi Action Show: End of season wrap-up
