Eberl is developing a nasty habit of talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Bayern Munich has struggled to find consistency in key positions over the past decade, primarily due to the variety of strong personalities that walk across the campus. Between the players, coaches, trainers, sporting directors (how is this a plural nouns…), and management board, apparently no one is immune to the egotistical disease.
In particular, Max Eberl has been under fire recently for the botched handling of Thomas Müller’s exit from the club after 25 years of loyal service.
“Of course, all of these people have strong opinions,” Eberl told Sport1 (via @iMiaSanMia). “But we all have a common interest: that Bayern Munich is and remains successful for the coming years. Everyone has opportunities to communicate, of course. I’m in between. This topic is entirely media-related. There are frictions when we discuss things. But there aren’t frictions between me and Uli Hoeneß or others in this construct. There’s completely normal, constructive communication about the topics at FC Bayern.”
A healthy level of disagreement is required to maintain a professional level of accountability. Unfortunately, the lack of alignment at Säbener Straße has forced the club to ignore the long-term picture.
