After Germany–Switzerland thriller, Xhaka quizzed Tah on Bayern coach Kompany

A post-match chat after Germany’s 4-3 friendly win over Switzerland at the end of March offered a glimpse into the growing attention around Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany. Granit Xhaka, fresh from the seven-goal contest, sought out former Bayer Leverkusen teammate Jonathan Tah to ask about the Belgian’s work in Munich.

Footage from the dressing-room area showed Xhaka quizzing Tah on Kompany. The Germany defender responded with praise, calling Kompany a top coach. Xhaka also asked about Kompany on a personal level, and Tah again offered positive remarks. The exchange underscores how Kompany’s work at Bayern is turning heads among peers.

While the conversation was informal, the curiosity and respect it reflected from established players like Xhaka is notable. For Bayern, the attention is a sign that Kompany’s approach is resonating beyond Munich—an early indicator of the profile he is building as he shapes the Bundesliga powerhouse.
