A shocking incident occurred in which the manager of Bayern Munich, the club of Kim Min-jae (30), a key defender for the South Korea national team, suddenly collapsed at the training ground and was urgently transported to a hospital.

The British media outlet 'BBC' reported on the 24th (Korean time) that "Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany suddenly collapsed while observing the minor league team's training on Friday and was transported to a hospital."

In response, the Bayern Munich club issued an official statement saying, "Manager Kompany received emergency treatment after collapsing while observing the reserve team's training on Friday," adding, "Manager Kompany is undergoing detailed examinations at the hospital. He is expected to continue inpatient treatment under the care of medical staff for a period. The coaching staff will take over directing training and matches until further notice."

Max Eberl, Bayern Munich's sports director, added, "Manager Kompany's health is our top priority. The club will spare no effort in supporting his speedy recovery," stating, "We plan to entrust the managerial duties to the coaching staff. We wish Manager Kompany a swift recovery."

The local area was also greatly shocked. Reporter Taufiq Khalil, who works in Germany, vividly conveyed the tense situation at the time through 'BBC'. He stated, "The atmosphere on site was so serious that a rescue helicopter even landed at the Bayern Munich training ground. Although he was not transported by helicopter, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance. He is currently in stable condition and undergoing detailed examinations."

The reason for the fainting was pointed out as recent overexertion in directing matches. According to Khalil, Manager Kompany had been suffering from severe flu-like symptoms due to a viral infection since the match against RB Leipzig last weekend and did not attend official press conferences. He was also represented by the head coach at Tuesday's press conference ahead of the European Football Association (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) match against Arsenal.

However, Manager Kompany could not rest due to the importance of the match and ultimately stayed on the bench in the heavy rain pouring down on Munich on Wednesday night. In the end, after forcing himself to take charge in the rain while suffering from severe viral symptoms, he collapsed at the minor league training ground two days later.

Support is also pouring in from former clubs upon news of the sudden fainting of the manager. Manchester City, which he played for for 11 years during his active career and led to four English Premier League (EPL) titles, conveyed via the club's SNS, "We wish a speedy recovery to Kompany, a legend and former captain."

With Manager Kompany, who has maintained Bayern Munich's top position in the Bundesliga while utilizing Kim Min-jae, suddenly collapsing, the Bayern Munich squad, facing the Freiburg match this weekend, has entered an emergency acting management system amid great shock.
