Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has returned to work following his recent hospitalization. On the morning of November 10, the Belgian arrived at the club's headquarters on Senerstrasse, where he spent time in his office and spoke with team representatives. This is reported by Sport RBC.UA, citing the German publication TZ. ### Return to the club's headquarters According to TZ, on his first day back, Kompany worked at his computer in his office and held a meeting with Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund. In addition, the coach watched a training session of players who are recovering from injuries and undergoing rehabilitation. Thus, the Belgian has effectively resumed his presence at the club's base after several weeks of absence. ### Diagnosis and recovery process Recall that in late October, Kompany lost consciousness during a training session of Bayern's second team. Following the incident, the 40-year-old specialist was hospitalized, and doctors subsequently diagnosed him with meningeal irritation — an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. After being discharged from the hospital, the coach recovered at home, while his duties were temporarily performed by assistant Aaron Danz. ### When the coach will return to the touchline At the same time, returning to the club base does not mean that Kompany is immediately ready to manage the team during matches. According to the official Bayern website, the specialist continues his recovery and is undergoing rehabilitation due to a shoulder injury. According to honorary club president Uli Hoeneß, the coach should return to work after the international break. Munich will play their next match on November 20 against Cologne. ### The team's form in the coach's absence Despite the absence of the head coach on the touchline, Bayern maintains high results. In the Bundesliga, Munich shares first place in the standings with Borussia Dortmund — both teams have 21 points. In the Champions League, the team ranks 13th with 8 points after four matchdays of the main stage. Thus, Kompany's return to the headquarters coincided with a period when the club demonstrates stable play in both the championship and European competitions. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Компани вернулся к работе после госпитализации: что известно о состоянии тренера "Баварии"](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/football/kompani-povernuvsya-roboti-pislya-gospitalizatsiyi-1794380465.html) - Primary source: visit on November 10, office work, conversation with Freund, observing training, diagnosis, Hoeneß statement, tournament figures. - [Компани вернулся к работе после госпитализации – тренер посетил штаб Баварии](https://football24.ua/ru/news/kompani-vernulsja-k-rabote-posle-gospitalizacii-trener-posetil-shtab-bavarii-975560) - Confirms the date of November 10, visit to Senerstrasse, conversation with Freund, diagnosis, 21 points in Bundesliga, 8 points in UCL, match against Cologne on November 20. - [Тренер Венсан Компани вернулся к работе в «Баварии» — Interia Sport](https://ua.news/ru/dovkolo-svitu/trener-vinsent-kompani-povernuvsia-do-roboti-v-bavariyi-interia-sport) - Confirms return on November 10, incident on October 23, diagnosis, match against Cologne on November 20 and Lille on November 25; mentions assistant Floribert Ngalula. - [Компани вернулся в Баварию после госпитализации: когда тренер снова выйдет на бровку?](https://www.ua-football.com/foreign/germany/1794309499-kompani-vernulsya-v-bavariyu-posle-gospitalizacii-kogda-trener-snova-vyydet-na-brovku.html) - Confirms the fact of returning to work after health issues and the question of stepping onto the touchline. ## FAQ ### When did Vincent Kompany return to work at Bayern?
