Eberl under pressure: Bayern boss Dreesen defends controversial sports chief!
Max Eberl, the sports director of FC Bayern Munich, is currently facing a critical situation. In the past few weeks there has been numerous speculations about Eberl's possible resignation, especially after a turbulent transfer summer, in which several desired player transfers could not be realized. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen reacted to these rumors and commented at the DFL general assembly. He recommended that those present ignore such speculation and described them as "nonsense".
Dreesen emphasized that responsibility for the transfer business in the team was shared and not only Eberl is wrong. His contract runs until 2027, as well as that of Dreesen. In addition, Eberl will soon return to day -to -day business after a short vacation, with a clear focus on the contract extension of Dayot Upamecano.
Criticism and challenges
The past few months have not been easy for Eberl. Many transfers failed for various reasons, which led to public criticism. According to many, players like Kingsley Coman were sold too cheap. The Supervisory Board asked Eberl to borrow players mainly in the future, which increases the complexity of the tasks.
On the last day of the transfer period, Eberl finally hired striker Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea. According to Dreesen, the transfer business has become more complicated, and the sums that are involved in football are steadily increasing. It remains to be seen whether Eberl's latest difficult decisions will influence his position in the club.
The outlook
With the impending departure from CFO Michael Diederich at the end of the month remains unclear who will succeed. Eberl is now not only under the pressure to reduce salary costs and explain failed obligations, but also has to guarantee a closed appearance of FC Bayern in order to regain the public's trust.
In the middle of these challenges it is important to hope that the association will appear as a unit and successfully take the upcoming contract negotiations. The coming weeks should be decisive for how it will continue for both Eberl and FC Bayern Munich.
