Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany fainted while watching a training session of the team's second squad. Following the incident, an emergency helicopter landed at the training facility; Kompany was subsequently taken to the hospital by ambulance.
It was stated that the 40-year-old Belgian manager will undergo comprehensive examinations and will be kept under medical observation for a period. It was reported that Kompany, who is said to have been suffering from a viral infection, is in stable condition.
In a statement from Bayern Munich, it was emphasized that Kompany's health is the priority. It was noted that his assistants will temporarily take over the manager's duties.
Kompany had announced last week that he had contracted a severe viral infection; it was reported that he had been experiencing pain in his legs and difficulty climbing stairs. Despite this, the Belgian coach was on the sidelines for his team's 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday.
As a manager, you want to do everything and achieve everything. I caught a very severe virus last week. Of course, I didn't listen to my body, and at one point, my body told me, 'Stop now!'
Appointed as Bayern Munich's manager in 2024, Kompany served as captain at Manchester City during his playing career and won four Premier League titles with the English club.
