Can you believe that Germany's biggest football club which featured the Swastika during the Nazi era will now be under the management of a black man?
Incredible stuff and really happy for Vincent Kompany who was once the captain of the Belgian national team alongside Manchester City despite his Congolese background and young age of 38.
From Wikipedia: Kompany's father, Pierre, is a Congolese immigrant to Belgium and serves as his agent. He had been interned as a student for rebelling against Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator of Zaire. In October 2018, Pierre was elected the mayor of Ganshoren, making him the first black mayor in Belgium. His mother, Jocelyne, was Belgian and Kompany described her as a "socialist, borderline communist". The Kompany family faced racism. At age 14, he was expelled from school due to his frequent absences for the Belgium youth team, and also dropped from the team for clashing with the coach. He then faced further setbacks with his parents' divorce and eviction from his home. Kompany said in 2019 that due to widespread drugs and gangs in his local area, he could have chosen an "extremely wrong path" at this age.
Mia San Mia!
