Vincent Kompany has shared his first comments about former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane in his first press conference as the new Bayer Munich manager.
The former City captain will be linking up with his former teammates at the German club next season after Kompany was recently announced as Thomas Tuchel’s replacement at Bayern.
It didn’t take long for the Belgian, for the first time in his new position, to introduce himself to the German media and the Bayern fans, where he also had the chance to share his thoughts on Sane.
Kompany drops Sane verdict after Bayern appointment
Speaking in his first press conference (via BBC Sport) as Bayern’s new boss, Kompany had this to say about Sane, including his time with the winger at City and what he plans to do with his former teammate going forward.
He said: “We had an unbelievable time together at Manchester City. When I was at City I was a little bit more than a captain. I won’t be that different now.
“It is a talented team and he is a talented player. To make it really simple, my job is to try to get the most out of Sane and out of every player in the team. From that, I will make no distinction.”
Kompany and Sane had a successful time together at City
During their time together at the Etihad Stadium between 2016 and 2019, the duo featured in 50 games together and even racked up one joint goal participation.
They also won two Premier League titles and one FA Cup together before Kompany left the Manchester club at the end of the 2018/19 season.
Now that the former defender has reflected on his time at City with Sane and shared what he hopes to do with the winger as his new manager, this will definitely be something that a lot of City fans will keep an eye on next season.
