According to German media SPORT1 reporter Stefan Kumberger, Bayern senior executives are very satisfied with Kompany.

report pointed out that Bayern executives are very satisfied with Kompany, especially because he treats the players in a way that the club has always expected. Kompani is strict, but not "authoritarian", and he grasps the right amount of authority and affinity. His relatively young age and his own success as a player have played a crucial role in his coaching career.

Currently, on Sebena Street, no player is dissatisfied with the team—just the contrary. Kompany gave players who had fallen out of favor, such as Gnabry and Gretzka. In response, Gretzka said: "He deserves our great praise. Especially last year when some players - myself, were in a difficult situation."

Kompany also used the Club World Cup to strengthen cohesion among players and enhance team spirit. Bayern sporting director Ebert said: "I think the Club World Cup is very beneficial to our entire team, it creates incredible energy. You can feel this unity and enthusiasm." The atmosphere of the team is very positive and the players are playing happily, which is obvious in public training and in private. Especially during the Oktoberfest, Kompani treated players very differently than his predecessors. We can see the coach attending the Oktoberfest with some players in private. He also did not formulate any special code of conduct, but instead relied on the players' self-awareness - another point that players appreciate.

In this regard, Gretzka added: "The communication between the coach and the player is simply amazing. He simply expressed respect for each of us."
