Kompany, set to become Bayern’s new head coach, has agreed to personal terms with the Bundesliga giants. However, one major detail remains unresolved: securing his backroom team, including Bellamy. Bellamy, Kompany’s assistant at Burnley for the past two years, is a key part of his coaching setup. The former Newcastle, Liverpool, and Manchester City forward is highly regarded by Kompany, who wants him to fulfill the same role in Munich.
Burnley, however, has other plans. With Kompany’s impending departure, the club is considering Bellamy as his replacement, offering him his first head coaching position. This presents Bellamy with a significant career decision: continue as an assistant under Kompany in Germany or take the helm at Burnley.

Kompany, a Manchester City legend who captained the team to four Premier League titles and six domestic cups, transitioned to management impressively. He led Burnley to automatic promotion from the Championship in his first season, though the club struggled in the Premier League, finishing 19th with just 24 points. Despite the relegation, Kompany’s attacking, possession-based style earned praise and drew Bayern’s attention.
Bayern Munich, seeking a new head coach after Thomas Tuchel’s departure, finished third in the Bundesliga. They initially targeted Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso, who led his team to the league title with an unbeaten season. However, Alonso declined, choosing to remain at Leverkusen.
As Bayern finalizes Kompany’s appointment, the tug-of-war over Bellamy intensifies. Whether Bellamy chooses to stay in Burnley as a head coach or join Kompany in Munich will be pivotal for both clubs.
