Vincent Kompany: FC Bayern coach apparently back after meningitis

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is back at Säbener Straße around two and a half weeks after his collapse. Several media outlets reported this unanimously on Tuesday. As the “tz” first wrote, the Belgian was working on his laptop again in his office that morning.

The coach of the German record champions collapsed 18 days ago during training for the U23s on Säbener Straße and was taken to hospital. There the doctors diagnosed meningitis. After he was released from the hospital, he should continue to take rest and take medication. Kompany has since been represented by assistant coach Aaron Danks. It is unclear whether Kompany will now take over all tasks again.

Comeback after the international break?

Uli Hoeneß recently indicated that Kompany could soon return to training at FC Bayern Munich. "After the international break, in two or three weeks, he will be back on the bench," said the honorary president of FC Bayern on the Bayerischer Rundfunk's "Sonntags-Stammtisch" program.

Danks also had an early return to the game. »I've had a few really good phone conversations with him in the last few days. “He seems very positive and seems to be on the way to a complete recovery,” he said last week. "We haven't set a date, but the international break is a good opportunity to reflect on everything a bit and estimate when he will come back."

FC Bayern will play their first game after the international break on November 20th against 1. FC Köln. Under the direction of Kompany assistant Danks, Bayern achieved four wins and one draw in five competitive games. They are leaders in the Bundesliga, reached the DFB Cup round of 16 and maintained their chances of reaching the round of 16 in the Champions League.
