Overview
- Thierry Henry told Sports Illustrated Deutschland this week that Kompany has proved critics wrong and that the coach’s clarity, languages and leadership have driven Bayern’s strong season.
- Henry said Bayern’s board deserved respect for hiring Kompany after his Burnley relegation because they saw qualities that fit the club’s identity.
- He highlighted the club’s transfer approach of signing players who match Bayern’s style rather than only chasing big names as central to sustained performance.
- Henry named Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz, Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry and Joshua Kimmich as a joy to watch and evidence of deep squad quality.
- His praise adds a high-profile outside voice to broader coverage that credits Bayern’s continuity, culture and recruitment for the Double and Champions League semi-final run.
