Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl has seen a lot during his time at the club, but ultimately believes he did his best work in helping the team overcome Bayer Leverkusen entering the 2024/25 campaign.
“If I were to draw a picture, I would say that a lot of dust was constantly being stirred up during that time, and it was essential to maintain a clear focus on what was important. In the summer of 2024, we hadn’t won a title, not even the runner-up position behind Leverkusen,” Eberl told
Sport Bild’s Henning Feindt, Christian Falk, and Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “We didn’t have a coach and, on top of that, the team was generally unhappy. Looking back on it now, the most important thing was to find a very good coach with whom we could develop long-term plans from the outset. We succeeded in doing that with Vincent Kompany, as the recent contract extension until 2029 underlined once again.”
It is tough to debate Eberl on that. Finding a coach to replace Tuchel, while bolstering the team was a big task, but the executive handled it with aplomb. All-in-all, not a bad job, eh?
