  "account": "Bayern Munich announced on Wednesday that their coach Vincent Kompany has been discharged from the hospital. The Belgian coach, 40, had been suffering from meningeal irritation, a condition that triggered his collapse during a training session on Friday. Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl confirmed the Belgian's discharge, stating they had identified the cause of the illness.\n\nEberl informed ARD that coach Kompany would be back in the dugout within weeks, not days, with English assistant coach Aaron Danks stepping in temporarily. After Bayern's 3-1 victory over Freiburg on Sunday, Danks indicated the coaching staff would refrain from discussing football matters with Kompany during his recovery period. The coach, who had visible symptoms, including limping, in a match against RB Leipzig in mid-October, is expected to return to action in full health soon, according to Eberl.",
