After Hoeneß’s criticism: Eberl responds to the accusations | OneFootball

The clear words of Uli Hoeneß on SPORT1’s Doppelpass continue to resonate. While the honorary president publicly called the sporting director “sensitive,” Max Eberl has so far not responded at all – yet his future at FC Bayern remains a hotly debated topic.

Hoeneß showed no restraint on Doppelpass. “Such a tough job leads to confrontations. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and I often fought like cats and dogs. But when the door closed behind us, everything was fine again. Max is quite sensitive in that regard,” explained the 73-year-old.

But that wasn’t all: “It would also be good for Max if he finally realized that the work needs to be spread over several shoulders. I think he has some problems with that.” Words that struck like a thunderbolt – and once again made it clear that the relationship between Hoeneß and Eberl has long since cooled.

When asked by BILD, Eberl did not want to comment on the statements on Monday. Even in recent weeks, the 51-year-old has refrained from airing disagreements in public. Instead, he has opted for restraint.

He allowed himself only a sly dig at the powerful supervisory board members Hoeneß, Rummenigge, and president Herbert Hainer. After it was decided in August that he would only be allowed to arrange loan deals, he responded at a press conference about the failed transfer of Nick Woltemade: “Maybe Stuttgart will loan him to us; after all, we can do loans.”

Otherwise, however, Eberl remains silent – probably also to avoid further fueling the heated atmosphere.

Supervisory board to decide Eberl’s future

Despite his restraint, Eberl remains under internal scrutiny. According to BILD, the transfer policy this summer has been critically assessed. While Bayern was able to sign high-profile players like Luis Díaz and Jonathan Tah, numerous preferred solutions fell through. In addition, the squad is still considered thinly staffed.

According to the report, resigning of his own accord is currently not an option for Eberl. The sporting director, whose contract runs until 2027, took a short break after the transfer window and returned to Säbener Straße at the start of the week.

The decisive factor for his future will likely be the next supervisory board meeting. Eberl’s work will be evaluated in detail there. Only then will it become clear whether the sporting director retains the club management’s trust – or whether Uli Hoeneß’s criticism marks the beginning of the end of his tenure at FC Bayern.
