Bayern Munich will face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, but Bayern manager Vincent Kompany will be suspended for the first leg due to accumulating yellow cards. According to reports, UEFA will assign staff to monitor Kompany and prohibit him from sending messages via mobile phone.
Reports state that for this match, assistant coach Mark Danks will take over from Kompany to lead the team, and Kompany will not be allowed to have any contact with the team at the Parc des Princes.
Kompany will travel to the stadium by bus with the team approximately 90 minutes before the match starts. He may conduct a pre-match pep talk there. However, from the moment the bus arrives at the stadium, Kompany must separate from the team and is not allowed to enter the dressing room!
UEFA Disciplinary Regulations Article 69 stipulates: “Furthermore, any suspended team manager/coach or other team official shall not enter the dressing room or players' tunnel before or during the match.”
UEFA Competition Regulations clearly state: “A team manager/coach or other team staff member who has been sent off or suspended from duty shall not remain in the vicinity of the stadium, the team's substitute bench area (including all additional seats reserved for team staff in the match report form) if watching the match from the stands, and is prohibited from direct communication with players and coaching staff of their own team.”
According to reports, UEFA staff will conduct full supervision to ensure the strict implementation of the ban. During the match, Kompany will watch the game from a box. A UEFA staff member will also be stationed nearby in the box, equivalent to assigning a dedicated supervisor to keep an eye on Kompany. In addition, the use of mobile phone communication is prohibited during the match, and UEFA has always strictly enforced this regulation in similar situations.
Can Kompany still interfere in the match? At most, he can only use the trick of "secretly passing messages": a Bayern staff member may sit near Kompany and take the opportunity to quietly pass tactical instructions to the dressing room via mobile phone.
