Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany will wait until after next week’s German Cup final before passing judgment on his season, but said on Friday the bar had already been set high for next season.
The Bavarians secured the league title weeks ago and can win their first domestic double in six years. They also reached the last four of the Champions League before losing 6-5 to holders Paris Saint-Germain last week.
«I’ll wait a little longer, because we have the important cup final, which plays a big role for our season,» Kompany told a press conference ahead of Saturday’s league final against visitors Cologne.
«But overall we won a lot of matches, gained emotions and experiences and developed a lot of players. The bar has been raised and next year we want to develop further and that is our next task.»
Kompany has won consecutive league titles with Bayern in his two seasons in charge.

His team smashed the single-season goals record in the Bundesliga with 117 goals with one match to play. The previous limit of 101 goals had stood since the 1971/72 season.
Bayern will take on VfB Stuttgart in the German Cup final in Berlin on May 23 and sporting director Max Eberl said there is no danger of it resting on its laurels.
“We’re still not done,” he said. “We can still win the cup and the double.
“We haven’t won the cup for six years, but what we have done so far, especially in the league, has been something special.”
Kompany, Eberl and the players have a busy few days of festivities ahead of them, with traditional beer drinks planned at the end of the match on the pitch on Saturday, and a day later in Munich’s central square during a title celebration with fans.
“You start the season hoping to lift the league trophy again and now this moment has arrived, so we will enjoy it,” Kompany said.
