Bayern Munich hero Jean-Pierre Papin is backing Vincent Kompany's appointment as new coach.
The Burnley manager is due to be confirmed as new Bayern coach this week.
Papin, now an advisor to Marseille, told Ouest-France: "What if I'm surprised? No. Nothing is done by chance at Bayern. They want to start a new cycle.
"They are going to let senior players go and relaunch with a new, younger coach, a new squad.
"Kompany has already proven that he has the shoulders. I validate this choice."
