Hertha Berlin tried to signal Vincent Kompany as head coach two years in the past, Fredi Bobic has revealed. 

Talking on Sky Germany, the Hertha sporting director defined that he and Kompany met in Düsseldorf earlier than the beginning of the 2022/23 season. 

“I spent a night with Vincent two years in the past. We talked lots about soccer.”

Finally, Kompany selected Burnley who had been within the Championship on the time. In his first season on the membership, Kompany would get them promoted to the Premier League.  

For Hertha, they selected to go together with Sandro Schwarz and had been relegated from the Bundesliga that marketing campaign. 

So why didn’t Kompany select the then Bundesliga outfit? 

From Fredi Bobic’s point-of-view, he believed that Kompany’s enjoying type was extra suited to England than Germany. 

“He tends to England at this level. It might most likely not have labored within the type of the combined location that we had in Berlin. Later I made a decision on Sandro Schwartz. The way in which he [Kompany] has already thought of soccer is extra appropriate for the English supervisor system. You may solely discover that in Germany with the massive golf equipment. It was maybe a bit forward.”

After two seasons at Burnley, Kompany has discovered himself again in Germany with Bayern Munich. Maybe Hertha Berlin followers at the moment are questioning what might have been?
