VINCENT KOMPANY brushed aside concerns he was not Bayern Munich’s first choice today by insisting the club have done well to appoint him.

The former Manchester City and Belgium captain was confirmed as Bayern’s surprise pick to succeed Thomas Tuchel as manager after a deal was reached with relegated Burnley on Wednesday.

Kompany emerged as an unlikely front-runner for the job last week after a number of high-profile candidates including Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann, Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick reportedly turned it down.
