'I really like him' - Harry Kane gives verdict on working under Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich and Lee Carsley being appointed interim England boss

Kane returned to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium after one year as he featured in Bayern Munich's pre-season friendly against the North London club on Saturday. This was also the first time the forward took the pitch since featuring for England in the Euro 2024 final where they went down 2-1 against Spain.

After the game, the 31-year-old spoke highly of his new manager Vincent Kompany as he praised the Belgian's tactics of high press and keeping the ball on the ground. The Three Lions captain also opened up about Lee Carlsley taking charge of the England team on an interim basis after Gareth Southgate resigned after the Euros loss.

Speaking on Sky Sports, the experienced attacker said, "I really like him. He’s a great personality to have as a leader and a coach. You see the way we want to play: high intensity and high press. Keeping the ball. It’s not always easy against Spurs because they do the same, but it was a back-and-forth game."

When asked about Carlsey's appointment, Kane added, "From my point of view as a captain and a player, we’ll just get behind the coach. We’ve got two important games coming up and after the tournament we’ve had you want to kickstart well and get back to it. That’s all we can do. That decision is out of my hands. All I can do is do my best for him and our country."

The Bavarian club will play their final pre-season friendly against WSG Tirol on Tuesday before appearing in their first competitive match of the 2024/25 campaign against ULM in a DFB Pokal first-round clash.
