You can’t blame the #BildMole for this one….or can you?
According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), board member for sport Max Eberl could be battling with members of the supervisory board:
The relationship between Max Eberl and parts of the supervisory board and the board of directors is increasingly ‘very strained’. Although Eberl is acknowledged to have done a good job, especially in signing Michael Olise, and the cooperation with sporting director Christoph Freund is praised, the recent contract extensions were ‘too expensive in the eyes of others’ and ‘took too long’. There’s also dissatisfaction over the communication and also the development at the FCB Campus.
As a result, Bayern are now considering whether to install ‘a higher authority over Eberl and Freund’. The question is also being asked as to what will happen with Eberl and whether he might want to leave of his own accord at some point. His contract at FCB runs until 2027, but a separation in the summer is considered highly unlikely, at least for now.
Mario Gomez, Markus Krösche and Ralf Rangnick are among names being considered and monitored as part of the considerations over the future strategic direction.
Incidentally (maybe), Plettenberg released a report earlier in the day (via @iMiaSanMia) detailing Bayern Munich’s interest in Gomez:
Mario Gomez, current technical director of Red Bull Soccer, is a name being discussed and monitored by FC Bayern. The club is understood to have made an informal enquiry last year to get a sense of Gomez’s future plans. He’s under contract at Red Bull until 2028.
In addition to that, there have been multiple reports so far this year that Rangnick is eyeing a return to the Bundesliga. Is something brewing or just much ado about nothing?
It is hard to imagine Eberl or Freund being receptive to another layer of supervision being placed above them. Stay tuned…
