Bayern Munich legend Samuel Osei Kuffour believes Vincent Kompany has the potential to bring success to the German club following his appointment as coach.
The former Manchester City captain replaces Thomas Tuchel, who departed after a trophyless season with the European giants.
Although Kompany arrives after guiding Burnley back to the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League, Kuffour insists the Belgian has the right attributes to thrive in Germany.
"When he was coming we had a debate on our legends platform. It was a huge debate and I was in support. Why not give somebody the benefit of the doubt? Because I think he understands. From his team, if he had the quality like Man City, he can do better," Kuffour told Angel TV's Saddick Adams.
"So if he has the quality to be in this great club and the kind of our quality he has. I think he will cause a big surprise in Europe," he added.
While Bayern Munich will prioritize winning the Bundesliga, Kuffour is confident that Kompany can also excel in European competitions.
"Yes of course. Did we deserve to lose against Real Madrid? Absolutely no. I mean this is how football is but I believe if you have the opportunity to coach a team like Bayern Munich. This is a great thing you have to do to protect your image," he said.
