Eberl under fire? Hainer insists: "We all share the responsibility" | OneFootball

The ongoing discussions about Sporting Director Max Eberl are not subsiding. Speculations are rife about whether the 51-year-old could prematurely end his tenure at FC Bayern. President Herbert Hainer has now clearly positioned himself – and backed Eberl.

On the sidelines of the inauguration of the Franz Beckenbauer monument in Munich, Hainer spoke to kicker about the current situation. "We should not comment on every rumor. I want to emphasize once again that we have made all decisions together, that is the most important thing," he explained.

What was particularly important to Hainer was the clarification that there are no solo actions within the club: "All decisions have gone through the supervisory board. There is no decision by Max Eberl or Uli Hoeneß. These are all decisions of FC Bayern."

With this, the president emphasized that both successful transfers and those that have not worked as hoped are a shared responsibility. "We are all responsible, both for the good transfers and for those that have not worked quite as well," said Hainer.

Above all, Eberl has been repeatedly criticized for Bayern's transfer activities in recent weeks. The focus was on the failed signings of players like Nico Williams, Florian Wirtz or Nick Woltemade.

With his statements, Hainer sends a deliberate signal in a phase where there is much reporting about unrest and internal differences around the record champion. Especially after the recent public comments by Honorary President Uli Hoeneß about Eberl, there had been further speculation.

The clear message from the president is now: FC Bayern makes decisions together – and does not want to be distracted by rumors about personnel.
