Bayern Munich’s campus is set a lot of changes in the summer. A lot of coaches are already stepping down as new Campus director Michael Wiesinger continues to make an impression. But with Wiesinger joining, the question on everyone’s lips was what would happen to the old sporting director, Markus Weinzierl. The close friend of Max Eberl’s two year contract from 2024 expires in the summer, after all, and Bayern have already found his successor. Would they let him go or find a different position for
him?
In a rather unsurprising turn of events, according to Bild (and captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER), Bayern have reportedly decided to go with the former option:
FC Bayern will not extend the expiring contract with Markus Weinzierl, even though Max Eberl would have liked to give him a new one. Michael Wiesinger is a major reason for the changes at the Campus.
One cannot say Weinzierl did the best work in his position and his credentials for the job, beyond his friendship with Eberl for whatever that is worth, were questionable. It is not bad to have an experienced coach around the club if he accepts such a role, but it was always a questionable fit.
