Kompany is back, Lens parts with coach after defeat

International football news reports that Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, after his collapse due to a meningitis, is again entering Bayern Munich’s training ground on Säbener Straße, while the French vice‑champion RC Lens dismisses its coach Yannick Cahuzac only a few days after the 1‑9 defeat against Como.

According to the club, the Belgian is at Säbener Straße in a rehab program for his injured shoulder.

Uli Hoeness said last Sunday that Kompany will be back on the bench after the international break, i.e., in two to three weeks.

The 40‑year‑old coach was under medical care after the collapse.

The Netherlands must cope with the upcoming Nations League matches without their captain Virgil van Dijk, as the Liverpool defender is injured for the game against Greece on Friday and the away match against Germany on Monday; moreover striker Brian Brobbey is unavailable, meaning coach Xavi Hernández loses two key pillars.

The Dutch lead their four‑team group with eight points ahead of level Greece and Germany (5).

Lens parts ways with coach after defeat

RC Lens has separated from coach Yannick Cahuzac less than a week after the historic 1‑9 defeat against Como, as a club‑close source confirmed on Tuesday.

On Sunday Lens lost at home in Ligue 1 against Marseille 1‑2.

Cahuzac only took up his position in mid‑September, after succeeding Dino Toppmöller, who had unexpectedly left the club after just four matchdays.

In all competitions he has so far recorded only three wins in nine games.
