Aaron Danks, Bayern Munich assistant, has been appointed interim coach of the team while Vincent Kompany, the starting coach, is currently hospitalized due to health problems. Kompany suffered an illness during training on October 23 and, although his condition is stable, he requires continuous monitoring. Sports director Max Eberl announced that the coach could remain away from the pitch for several weeks, underlining the importance of his health compared to sporting results.
Danks, 43, originally from Birmingham, has a unique career in football. Unlike many coaches, he has never played at a professional level. His career began in 1999 with Birmingham City, where he worked in the development of youth football, before moving to West Bromwich Albion. In 2016, he joined the English Football Federation (FA), collaborating with the youth selections and being part of the staff that led the Under 20s to victory at the World Cup in 2017.
Danks also had experience in professional basketball in the United States, at the Golden State Warriors, before returning to football as an assistant for the England Under-21s. His career took a major turn in 2021 when he started working with Kompany at Anderlecht. Despite their brief collaboration, the two have developed a strong bond of trust. Danks also subsequently worked with Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, where he assisted Michael Carrick. On the occasion of his assignment at Bayern, Danks was strongly supported by Kompany, underlining his crucial role in the preparation and organization of training sessions.
Today, Danks will face his first match as interim manager away against Freiburg. To meet this challenge, he will have to manage a team that is without several starters such as Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz, Kim Min-jae and Manuel Neuer. Despite the absences, Danks is optimistic about the strength and cohesion of the team, the result of the work carried out under the guidance of Kompany.
In an interview, Danks said: "We will not make radical changes in the way we play. We will continue to follow the path laid out. The team has a winning mentality, and I am sure we can overcome these difficulties." The trust expressed towards the group will be fundamental to face such a delicate moment. Danks is also known by the nickname "Danksy" and has a particular connection with a lucky parrot figurine, a symbol of good luck for the club. His personality, which combines seriousness and humor, will help keep the group's morale high during this transition period.
What happens now
Danks will lead Bayern in the match against Freiburg, a match that could have a significant impact on the current season. His youth experience and connection with Kompany could prove crucial in maintaining the team's stability in the Bundesliga during this difficult period.
