<p>Kompany, 38, was speaking in one of his first press conferences after being announced as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-new-coach-bayern-confirm-vincent-kompany-replaces-thomas-tuchel-premier-league-relegation-burnley/blt998d6ce712198f1f" target="_blank">Thomas Tuchel's successor </a>at the Allianz Arena, where he confirmed his name had been pronounced incorrectly for the majority of his career. The former Burnley boss stated his first name 'Vincent', was where the issue stemmed from.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking on Bayern's official club <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@fcbayern/video/7374780713628880160?_r=1&amp;_t=8mnoP1eMzPl" target="_blank">TikTok </a>account, Kompany said: "So my name is actually pronounced ‘Vincent’. But I played in Hamburg for two years and it never worked because it is hard to pronounce for Germans I guess. That’s why ‘Vincent’ or ‘Vinny’ is totally fine."</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Kompany was announced as Bayern's new head coach earlier this week after signing a three-year-deal at the Bundesliga giants. The Belgian has left Burnley after two years in charge where he achieved promotion from the Championship in his first campaign at Turf Moor - before suffering relegation in 2023-24.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Kompany will now work tirelessly to restore Bayern to their former levels of dominance in Germany, after the Bavarian club slipped to third place in the Bundesliga this season. Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen secured the title for the first time during the campaign, with Stuttgart also finishing ahead of Kompany's new squad.</p>
