Krösche to replace Eberl? Hoeneß responds to the rumours | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, the discussion about the sports management regularly heats up – most recently due to rumors about Markus Krösche. Now, Honorary President Uli Hoeneß has clearly positioned himself and backed Max Eberl.

Krösche not a topic on Säbener Straße

Hoeneß praised the work of the Frankfurt sports director: "Markus Krösche is doing a great job in Frankfurt. But no one seriously believes that he alone decides on transfers of 80 to 90 million euros there," he emphasized in the SPORT1 Doppelpass.

The name of the 44-year-old is said to be a recurring topic at FC Bayern. But Hoeneß made it clear: "We currently have no need for him."

Eberl under criticism – Hoeneß appeases

After a transfer summer in which Bayern recorded 17 departures but only brought in four new players, Eberl came under fire again. Rumors of a possible resignation were circulating. Hoeneß firmly disagreed: "In the supervisory board, we have absolutely no problem with Max Eberl. Of course, there were discussions, but a separation was never a topic."

At the same time, he emphasized the functioning cooperation between Eberl, sports director Christoph Freund, and coach Vincent Kompany. Nevertheless, he admitted: "A tough job certainly leads to disputes. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and I often argued, but everything was always fine afterward. Max is a bit more sensitive in this regard."

Clear words on transfer strategy

Hoeneß also commented critically on the approach in the recent transfer period. "Making transfers at the end of August is never a good idea and always expensive," he stated. At the same time, he pointed to the shared responsibility: "There are no Max Eberl transfers, Uli Hoeneß transfers, or Karl-Heinz Rummenigge transfers. There are only Bayern Munich transfers."

With his statements, Hoeneß sought de-escalation and made it clear that Bayern is sticking with Eberl. Although he acknowledges friction, a change in the position of sports director is not an issue for him. The message: Despite criticism, continuity remains the order of the day.
