Sometimes, work good friends wander apart when they discover various tasks. Sometimes they lose contact. Or in some cases one work buddy ends up being the other’s manager. Admittedly, the latter is exceptionally uncommon however that is precisely what occurred with Leroy Sané and Vincent Kompany, who were colleagues at Manchester City before Kompany retired in 2019. 5 years later on, they have actually been saved from the oily grip of Manchester and reunited at Bayern Munich.

Leroy Sané is “delighted” by this advancement, which he admitted to Bayern’s main site: “I was delighted the first time I met him again. He’s a great guy,” exposed Sané. “I’ve also now experienced how well he conducts training. The coaches all have great energy, Vincent Kompany has real charisma.”

Not everyone can unexpectedly stand taking orders from a previous work friend, however for Sané it is not about the hierarchy or his ego, however about success this season, which serves a fitting ending to his interview: “We absolutely have to win the league again. But another aim is to win the DFB Cup. I haven’t won that with Bayern yet, so it’s right at the top of my list – and of course the Champions League!”

Winning these titles would be sweet. As Leroy Sané nears his go back to physical fitness following a groin surgical treatment, the idea of winning will be at the leading edge of the previous Schalke gamer’s mind. And it will depend on Kompany to keep it there.
