Bayern Munich manager Kompany discharged from hospital after five days with meningitis diagnosis; assistant Aaron Danks continues interim charge.

Vincent Kompany has been discharged from hospital after five days of treatment for meningitis, Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl announced. The manager collapsed on Friday evening after training and was immediately taken to a Munich clinic. Eberl confirmed the diagnosis was a viral inflammation of the meninges and said Kompany has been cleared to recover at home with rest and medication. "I am totally sure that very soon he will be back at 100% on the sideline," Eberl said. Assistant Aaron Danks will continue as interim manager during Kompany's recovery.
