Resignation? Eberl denies rumours: "I've big plans with Bayern!" | OneFootball

Max Eberl has been the focus of criticism for months. Speculations have repeatedly surfaced suggesting that the sports director might leave FC Bayern prematurely. Now, for the first time, the 51-year-old has clearly addressed the rumors – and made a strong commitment to the record champions.

Even before the start of the summer transfer period, there was public discussion about whether Eberl's future on the Isar might significantly depend on the course of the transfer window. While fans and experts sometimes critically accompanied Munich's personnel policy, the officials were satisfied with the results.

FC Bayern has recorded numerous departures, resulting in a transfer surplus. At the same time, the squad was strategically strengthened and the salary budget reduced by several million euros. For the sports management, this is an important signal that the strategic realignment is showing effect.

Particularly due to the recent public dispute with honorary president Uli Hoeneß, the rumors about a possible resignation had gained new momentum. According to reports, Eberl even considered voluntarily throwing in the towel.

At the press conference before the Bundesliga match against Hamburger SV, he decisively denied this: “I want to do a good job here. I started 17, 18 months ago, it was not an easy situation. What I do, I do with passion, I am passionate about it.”

“My heart is here”

The sports director also highlighted the sporting progress since he took office: “Last summer, we found an outstanding coach, both as a person and as a trainer. Then it was about changing the squad. The contract extensions were essential. This summer we changed the squad again. The development of talents should never be a hype. We have started to reduce costs and generate income. That’s what we stand for.”

In conclusion, Eberl made it unmistakably clear: “My heart is here, I have big plans and want to be successful with Bayern Munich.”

With this clear message, the 51-year-old is not only trying to end the speculations about his person but also to refocus on the sporting tasks.
