Concern among Bayern bosses: will Max Eberl walk away? | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, there is apparently growing concern behind the scenes that sports director Max Eberl might resign after the chaotic summer transfer window.

According to information from Munich's tz, this impression arose among those involved in the recent supervisory board meeting due to Eberl's demeanor.

Within the committee, there is now, according to the report, consensus that the 51-year-old might indeed be ready to step down.

Such a move would be a massive problem for the record champions: If Eberl leaves, the board would consist only of Jan-Christian Dreesen.

Financial director Michael Diederich is leaving the club, and a successor has not yet been named. For supervisory board boss Herbert Hainer, a double loss at the top would be a real disaster.

The problem is exacerbated by the uneasy atmosphere in the supervisory board. The controversial loan directive, enforced by Uli Hoeneß together with Hainer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, was indeed discussed controversially in the meeting according to tz.

Hoeneß directive was apparently discussed controversially

Not all members agree with the strict directives. While Hoeneß and his associates mainly emphasize financial stability, there are apparently other voices that see the sporting flexibility as being too severely restricted by these limitations.

Eberl himself recently emphasized publicly that there is no open conflict with Hoeneß. Before the cup match in Wiesbaden, he said on ZDF: "There is no bad atmosphere."

At the same time, he admitted that there are "different thoughts." Hoeneß has a keen eye on the finances – a stance he fundamentally accepts: "It is my task to implement this in the best possible way."

That the austerity measures lead to tensions is not surprising. Eberl came to Munich with the clear goal of sustainably strengthening the squad. Instead, he had to adapt to a transfer freeze imposed from above – loan deals instead of expensive new signings.

From a sporting perspective, the summer fell significantly short of the original expectations.

The summer transfer window is considered chaotic both internally and externally: failed deals, complicated negotiations, and ultimately less reinforcement than planned.
