Bayern Munich's director of sport Max Eberl has laughed off any rumours linking coach Vincent Kompany with other clubs.
“Let them watch. He has a contract until 2029. Even though he's only turning 40, he already belongs to the very elite group of coaches.
Because he's a very clever, intelligent person. And I mean really clever. He's always been very highly respected too.
“But he makes that respect grow [for himself] every day, simply by just being himself,” Eberl explained in an interview with TZ München.
With regards to his own situation at the German record champions, Eberl is relaxed about his contract situation which expires in June 2027.
“I learned how things work at Bayern. If I do my job well, the people I frequently discuss and talk to will also make their decisions.
“It used to make me very nervous. Now, with my learnings, I say: Hey, I'll do my thing – and then people will tell me whether they're satisfied or not.
"That's what I can do; I can't influence anything else. Of course, I pick up on a few things more in conversations that don't take place in public.
“Like I said – I'm calm [about the situation] and focused on what's happening on the pitch,” the 52-year-old added.
