“It’s simply a huge pleasure to work with such a coach and such a person. He’s a fantastic character, a wonderful person. It’s always a joy to talk to him, to discuss things with him, and to listen to him. He’s an intelligent man who puts a lot of thought into football, and into life in general, so it’s simply wonderful that he’s with us. He truly is an exceptional coach for FC Bayern,” Freund told Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “I am absolutely convinced that he is the perfect coach for FC Bayern Munich. We know that in football, you can’t plan for things at 100%. But I would be very happy if he stays at Bayern for a very long time. He has all the necessary qualifications for that.”

The former Manchester City star is not out recruiting players unless the club wants his help. Similarly, he wants to keep his focus on his coaching duties and ensuring his players are focused on the task at hand — just like their leader.
That seems to be a welcomed aspect of what Kompany has brought to the table in Bavaria.
