Bayern transfer chief Max Eberl faces uncertain future

Bayern Munich are flying on the pitch under Vincent Kompany, but internal politics threaten to overshadow their success. Sporting director Max Eberl is in a precarious position despite a contract running until 2027, with the board split over whether he is the right man to lead the club’s sporting vision.

Sport Bild says his future is far from secure and that internal confidence in his leadership is wavering. The atmosphere at Saebener Strasse has grown volatile and the relationship between Eberl and other high-ranking officials has cooled. Tension centres on his handling of the club’s wage bill, with some board members arguing he has been too generous during contract renewals and created unsustainable financial structures.

Former manager Felix Magath warned of the difficulties of the role, saying: "After Uli Hoeness – I don't know which manager has lasted long at FC Bayern. It's a very difficult situation. These great former leaders are still floating around somewhere in the universe.
