Bayern Munich have confirmed that Vincent Kompany has extended his contract until the end of June 2029.

The head coach’s previous deal was set to expire in the summer of 2027, but Kompany has been rewarded after an impressive start with the Bavarian club.

The Belgian led Bayern to the Bundesliga title last season and won the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup at the start of the current campaign.

That Super Cup victory against Stuttgart marked the beginning of an ongoing 11-game winning run to start the season, which was most recently extended with a 2-1 win against rivals Borussia Dortmund.

11 competitive wins at the start of a campaign is a joint-record for a Bundesliga club and had previously only been achieved by Dortmund in 2015-16.

Bayern were knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals by Inter last season, but are top of the league phase after two matchdays this time around after wins against Chelsea and Pafos.

After signing his new deal, Kompany told the club website: “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.

“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!”
