Michael Olise has praised the influence of head coach Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich, highlighting the manager’s tactical ideas and leadership as key factors behind the club’s impressive performances this season, Softfootball reports.
Speaking in comments reported by transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano on his official X handle, Olise emphasised that Kompany’s tactical structure and clear communication have helped create a strong collective mentality within the squad.
his statement:
Michael Olise: “Vincent Kompany helps to make us stronger with his plans, his ideas”. “Everyone knows what we need to do in certain situations. We’re all on the same page. Everyone gives their best all the time. It’s not like an individual team”.
Bayern Munich are currently enjoying a dominant campaign that has reminded many supporters of the club’s historic 2020 treble-winning season. The Bavarian giants sit comfortably at the top of the Bundesliga table, have reached the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal, and remain strong contenders in the UEFA Champions League.
The team will next face Atalanta BC in a highly anticipated Champions League Round of 16 clash scheduled for March 10, 2026. Bayern head into the tie in excellent form and with growing confidence following a series of strong domestic and European performances.
One of the standout partnerships this season has been the attacking combination of Olise and Luis Díaz, who joined Bayern in the summer of 2025. The two wingers have become a major attacking threat, consistently troubling defences across Europe.
Diaz also highlighted the strong unity within the squad, describing the environment at Bayern as a family atmosphere that allows players to perform at their best.
“We are like a family,” Diaz said in an interview on Bayern Munich’s official YouTube channel. He credited the club’s coaching staff and squad spirit as central reasons for the team’s success this season.
Behind the scenes, Bayern continue to plan for both the present and the future. The club is currently working to secure the signing of promising Austrian teenager Matteo Silvio Marić from RB Salzburg.
The 16-year-old attacking midfielder is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young talents emerging from the Austrian youth system and has reportedly attracted interest from several top European clubs.
At the same time, Bayern are also focused on securing the long-term future of star striker Harry Kane. Club officials are working to extend his contract beyond 2027 as they look to cement his role as a central figure in the club’s sporting project.
Negotiations are already underway between the club and Kane’s representatives following the recent contract extension of defender Dayot Upamecano.
Since joining Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, Kane has become a cornerstone of the team. The England captain is currently enjoying a remarkable season, recording 50 goal contributions across all competitions, including 30 league goals in just 24 Bundesliga matches.
