Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany hospitalized after collapsing at training

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany was hospitalized on Friday, October 23, 2026, after collapsing while watching a training session involving the club's second team. The Belgian manager was transported to a medical facility via ambulance for immediate evaluation and remains under observation. The club officially confirmed the incident, stating that he required medical attention and is currently undergoing various tests to determine the cause of his collapse.

Reports indicate that the manager had been struggling with his health recently, specifically suffering from a viral infection that left him physically weakened. During a prior event following the match against Leipzig last weekend, Kompany reportedly complained of hip pain and had to lie down briefly in his office.

In the wake of the incident, Bayern Munich announced that Kompany's coaching staff will take over his responsibilities during training and match preparations until further notice. The club has not provided a specific timeline for his return, emphasizing that he will remain under medical supervision for the time being.
