Max Eberl, appointed as Bayern Munich's sporting director in 2024 after tenures at Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig, faces significant challenges in his new role. Criticism has arisen from the supervisory board regarding his past negotiations, particularly during the search for a replacement for coach Thomas Tuchel. Internal conflicts ensue, with Eberl feeling undermined by board members like Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, especially regarding transfer dealings. Additionally, he's accused of failing to secure reasonable contract extensions for key players, raising concerns about his effectiveness in the position.
Eberl reportedly feels that the board undermined his standing. This was prompted by the fact that it was Uli and Kalle who would deal with the transfer of Florian Wirtz.
The supervisory board has been critical of Eberl's work since last year during the search for a replacement for Thomas Tuchel.
Despite Eberl's years of experience in Gladbach, nothing could prepare him for Bayern, where the board's word has always been final.
Some in the board felt that Eberl failed to negotiate a feasible deal in the contract extensions of Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and others.
