Vincent Kompany has reportedly rejected multiple offers to work as a pundit for the BBC and ITV during this summer's World Cup. The Bayern Munich manager, who secured the Bundesliga title on Sunday, has decided to take a break instead.
Kompany's side clinched the league with a 4-2 win over Stuttgart, their 13th title in 14 years. The 40-year-old, who has previously impressed as a pundit for the BBC and Sky Sports, was in high demand due to his insights, particularly on England captain Harry Kane.
However, according to The Daily Mail, both broadcasters were unsuccessful in luring him into the studio. Kompany will use the summer to relax and recharge after an intense campaign, with Bayern still chasing a treble, facing Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last four.
Speaking after the title win, Kompany said: 'The numbers are great, but it’s not over yet. We keep going. It’s also a question of mentality. We’ve got crucial weeks to come. Our belief is there, and that’s very valuable in football.' He added: 'For me, every title is like the first. These moments take so much work. You need to enjoy it when you get there.'
