Harry Kane fired language warning by incoming Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany ahead of second season at Bundesliga giants

It has been almost a year since Kane made the move from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich. However, despite spending a whole season in Germany, the England captain has yet to learn the local language properly as was evident from a recent press conference during Euro 2024 where the striker was quizzed on his German knowledge.

New Bayern boss and former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has now urged all the overseas players to slowly learn the local language as he plans to communicate in multiple languages at the club including German, French, Dutch and English.

Speaking to reporters, the former Burnley manager said, "For me, it's very important to be clear. I can explain many things in German - but at the moment all my football terminology is in English. It takes a bit of time before being able to translate everything. Maybe that will change in the next few years.

"But at the moment, the 'business language' is English. But I'm Belgian, we communicate in all languages - German, French, English, Dutch, it's not a problem. The most important thing is also to motivate the players to learn German."

The Bavarian club began their preseason on Monday and are set to visit South Korea and the UK later this month where they are scheduled to play several friendly matches including facing Kane's former club Tottenham.
