He also took a thinly veiled swipe at Tuchel, while saying the players were "very angry" to miss out on the league title to Bayer Leverkusen last season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told reporters: "I am very, very confident that we will be at the top again next year. If we play football the way we can and don't throw away a 2-0 win like we did in Heidenheim or Hoffenheim, then things will be different again. The players who didn't win the championship are very angry."Hoeness added he had "got to know Kompany and work is being done there, that is something we have been missing. In general, I say what I mean, it seems that too little work was done [under Tuchel]."

WHAT ULI HOENESS SAID

This is a new, uncertain era for Bayern under new coach Kompany. They were unable to land many of their top managerial targets and in the end had to, in a sense, settle for the ex-Manchester City defender. The German giants failed to win any silverware last season, so Kompany may be seen as a hero if he can return them to winning ways.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kompany's Bayern side take on Tottenham on Saturday, before rounding off their pre-season campaign against WSG Tirol three days later. The new manager's tenure officially begins on August 16 against Ulm in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.
