Bayern Munich legend Samuel Osei Kuffour believes Vincent Kompany can bring success to the German club following his appointment as coach.

The former Manchester City captain replaced Thomas Tuchel, who left after a trophyless season with the European heavyweights.

Despite Kompany’s recent experience leading Burnley back to the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League, Kuffour argues that the Belgian has the right skills to succeed in Germany.

“When he was appointed, we had a debate on our legends platform. It was a huge debate, and I was in support. Why not give someone the benefit of the doubt? Because I think he understands. From his team, if he had the quality like Man City, he can do better,” he told Angel TV’s Saddick Adams.

“So if he has the quality to be in this great club and the kind of quality he has. I think he will cause a big surprise in Europe,” he added.

While Bayern Munich will prioritize winning the Bundesliga, Kuffour is confident Kompany can also excel in European competitions.

“Yes, of course. Did we deserve to lose against Real Madrid? Absolutely not. I mean, this is how football is, but I believe if you have the opportunity to coach a team like Bayern Munich, it’s a great thing you have to do to protect your image,” he said.
