Bayern boss Vincent Kompany, the Belgian-Congolese star of the dugout, is out of hospital and reportedly doing well after his training ground scare.
Good news for everyone in the African football family: Vincent Kompany, the Belgian-Congolese head coach of Bayern Munich, has been discharged from hospital after collapsing at the club's training ground. A Bayern board member says he is "doing well."
Kompany is one of the most prominent managers of African heritage at the very top of European football. The scare drew concern from fans across the Bundesliga and well beyond, and many on the continent and in the diaspora take real pride in watching him lead a giant like Bayern.
The update points to a swift and reassuring turn. Being cleared to leave hospital is the outcome supporters were hoping for after the alarm at the training base.
No further details have been shared here about what caused the collapse or when Kompany will be back on the touchline, so those questions remain open for now. What matters most at this stage is that the Bayern boss is out of hospital and recovering.
Afroballers will keep tracking developments as Bayern and their Belgian-Congolese coach move forward.
