Josip Stanisic maximizes his versatility at Bayern Munich

Josip Stanisic of FC Bayern Munchen controls the ball during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 League Round of 16 first leg match between Atalanta BC and FC Bayern Munchen at Stadio di Bergamo on March 10, 2027 in Bergamo, Italy. Vincent Kompany employs a fluid structure at Bayern Munich that requires players to tread uncharted territory or playing in positions that aren’t their primary positions. One of those players is Josip Stanisic, who can play across the backline (in the center or out wide on both sides). When asked about his preference, he has a fondness for one of his positions. “I’m a defender first and foremost, so it takes a bit of time to have confidence going forward,” the Croatian said (as capture by X account @iMiaSanMia). “I’ve got world-class players around me.
