Vincent Kompany didn't want to make too big of a deal of Bayern Munich extension

"I didn't really think about the timing; I was too busy preparing for the games. Then the proposal came up, and my only request was that it doesn't become a big topic and that we could quickly refocus on the next game. It probably surprised you [journalists] more than me. It was important to me that there were no big discussions, no speculation, just a quick and clear answer,"

"Bayern Munich officially gave Vincent Kompany a contract extension that will now keep him at the club through 2029 after the German Rekordmeister have enjoyed a fantastic start to this season across all competitions. They've yet (at the time of writing) to lose a match and look well on their way to competing for a potential treble so long as they're able to keep playing the way they've been playing thus far."

"Prior to the extension, Kompany's contract at Bayern was set to run through 2027 when he took over for Thomas Tuchel after a tenure with Burnley in both the Premier League and English Football League. After accumulating a record of 49 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses since he's been Bayern manager, the front office, executive board and supervisory board all felt it was the right time to put pen to paper on a two-year extension."
