Vincent Kompany, the Belgian manager of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, has placed his luxury villa in Hale Barns, Greater Manchester, on the market for approximately €4 million. The property, which spans roughly 700 square meters of living space, features six bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a library, a games room, and a state-of-the-art gymnasium. What distinguishes the estate from standard luxury listings is the inclusion of dedicated outdoor sports facilities: a private football pitch and a basketball court on the grounds.
The villa was completed in 2009, shortly after Kompany began his eleven-year tenure with Manchester City, where he served as captain for eight seasons and made 265 appearances as a centre-back. He moved into the property during his time at the Etihad Stadium and resided there until his departure from the club in 2019. According to property listings, the home was originally valued at around €4.5 million before being reduced to its current asking price.
Kompany has since relocated to Munich, where he has led Bayern Munich to consecutive Bundesliga titles. In 2024, he guided the club to its second league championship under his stewardship, having previously overseen their title win in the 2023–24 season. Reports indicate he has taken up residence in the affluent suburb of Grünwald, occupying a property once used by Lars Ricken, managing director of Borussia Dortmund.
The decision to sell the Manchester villa comes after a period of reported difficulty in finding a buyer, despite the property’s unique amenities and connection to a high-profile former athlete. Whereas the exact reasons for the prolonged listing period have not been disclosed, the price adjustment reflects a response to market conditions or valuation reassessment.
As a player, Kompany earned recognition as one of the Premier League’s best defenders during his time at Manchester City, contributing to multiple domestic trophies including two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, and two League Cups. Internationally, he earned 89 caps for Belgium and served as national team captain for several years, captaining the side at the 2018 FIFA World Cup where they finished third.
In management, Kompany began his coaching career at Anderlecht in 2019 before a brief return to playing duties in 2020. He then managed the Belgian club from 2020 to 2022 before taking over at English side Burnley in 2022. His tenure at Turf Moor saw him achieve promotion back to the Premier League in the 2022–23 season, earning widespread acclaim for his tactical approach and man-management.
Since joining Bayern Munich in June 2024, Kompany has implemented a high-pressing, possession-based system that has yielded strong results domestically. His first season in charge culminated in lifting the Bundesliga trophy, marking his first major honor as a head coach at the highest level of European football.
The Hale Barns property remains listed through standard real estate channels, with no public indication of an imminent sale. Prospective buyers are said to be drawn not only to the home’s size and finishings but also to its rare combination of residential luxury and elite training infrastructure—a reflection of Kompany’s dual identity as both a former elite athlete and current top-tier coach.
