After 100 games in charge - Where does Vincent Kompany rank among Bayern Munich greats?

It was a good night for Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu. The Bundesliga giants beat Real Madrid 2-1 thanks to goals by Luis Díaz (41’) and Harry Kane (46’). Kylian Mbappé scored the goal for Real Madrid. For Vincent Kompany, it was the 76th win in his 100th game in charge of Bayern Munich. The Belgian head coach has an incredible record since he took over Bayern in the summer of 2025. In his 100 games, he has recorded 76 wins, 13 draws, and lost just 11 times, with a goal differential of 302-100.

The result against Real Madrid means Kompany has now averaged 2.41 points-per-game as a Bayern Munich coach. That means Kompany has now drawn even with Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard averaged 2.41 points per game while in charge of Bayern from 2013 to 2016. It also means that only two coaches in Bayern Munich’s history have had a higher points-per-game average than Kompany.

Sitting in second and third place is Jupp Heynckes. Heynckes averaged 2.43 points per game while in charge of the club from 2011 to 2013. During that spell, Heynckes won the treble at the end of the 2012/13 season. The now 80-year-old, in fact, handed over what might have been the best squad in Bayern history to his successor Guardiola. But Heynckes would beat his points per game average in what was his third stint at the club. From 2017 to 2018, Heynckes oversaw 41 games and averaged 2.49 points per game.

Champions League or bust – Kompany still has work to do

At the very top is another coach who secured Bayern Munich a treble. Hansi Flick averaged an incredible 2.53 points per game while in charge in Munich. Now at Barcelona, where Flick has averaged 2.36 points per game, Flick won the treble with Bayern Munich in 2020. Flick would leave the club after a dispute with sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, and after a brief, disastrous spell with the German national team, is still in Champions League contention with Barcelona this season.

Those are the expectations that Kompany has to deal with. To this day, Guardiola’s time in Munich is overshadowed by the fact that he failed to secure a Champions League title, unlike his predecessor, Heynckes, and his eventual successor, Flick. Kompany now deals with the same expectations, and the victory in Madrid is, therefore, seen just as a small step towards securing the club’s seventh European Cup.
