Aaron Danks expresses his gratitude with emotional words for the solidarity shown at FC Bayern. At the same time, he looks forward to Vincent Kompany’s return.
Aaron Danks has addressed the FC Bayern community with a personal message. The assistant coach, who took charge on the sidelines while Vincent Kompany was ill, paid tribute on Instagram to how everyone worked together to navigate the difficult past few weeks.
“The past few weeks have shown us once again that difficult times reveal the strength of the people around you,” he wrote.
Danks explicitly highlights the entire club: “I’m proud of the unity, character, and dedication that everyone has shown at this incredible club.” At the same time, he turns his attention to his ailing boss: “We’ll keep moving forward together and look forward to having Vince back where he belongs.”
Danks Praises Team Spirit at FC Bayern
The message aligns with the Munich team’s recent performances. Despite Kompany’s absence and numerous injured players, FC Bayern won 2-0 at Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. This was followed by a 2-1 victory in Mainz. Danks and his coaching staff thus kept the team on track even under difficult conditions.
The Englishman has already received recognition for this from the club’s leadership. Sporting director Christoph Freund recently emphasized the great confidence placed in Danks and the entire coaching staff. He praised both their tactical work and the positive impact they’ve had on the team. In his statement, Danks now passes the praise on to the people at the club.
Meanwhile, it is not yet clear when Kompany himself will be able to return to action. The Belgian is sidelined due to meningitis and is recovering from his illness. Danks had already reported progress leading up to the Mainz match. However, this has not yet resulted in a firm date for his return.
Sporting Director Max Eberl recently emphasized that medical clearance remains crucial: “Vinnie is clearly on the road to recovery. Nevertheless, we still have to wait for the doctors’ green light before we let him back to Säbener Straße.”
The international break now gives Bayern some breathing room. Danks’ message makes it clear just how eagerly everyone is anticipating Kompany’s return.
