Core conflict at Bayern: Why things are tense between Hoeneß and Eberl | OneFootball

Bayern Munich has made a dream start to the Bundesliga with a 6-0 win over RB Leipzig – the highest defeat in the league history of the Saxons. While the team shone on the pitch, a well-known name is causing a stir off the pitch: Uli Hoeneß.

The honorary president of the record champion recently made it clear that he could only imagine a player loan this summer. With this clear statement, he not only increased the pressure on sports director Max Eberl, but also on the entire management team of the club.

For Eberl, who actually still sees room for transfers, this means a tangible problem. After all, he has to serve short-term sporting needs, while Hoeneß has the long-term stability of the club in mind.

Stefan Kumberger from Sport1 also sees it this way. According to him, Hoeneß thinks strategically and about where the record champion will be in five or ten years. The time windows in which the ex-president thinks are therefore quite different from those of Eberl.

Eberl only focused on quick sporting success?

It is also said that Eberl, sports director Christoph Freund and coach Vincent Kompany are more dependent on quick sporting success. The "point of friction" between the parties arises because the three named officials, unlike Hoeneß, also work for the club for a limited time and are considering new contracts.

The scene during the Leipzig game, when Hoeneß and Eberl demonstratively shook hands after the 2-0, almost seemed like a symbolic reaction to the discussions.

For Eberl, however, it will be crucial how he moderates this balancing act. For Hoeneß, it apparently remains a matter of course that he, as the voice of the club, sets the direction. Whether the two FCB officials will continue to work together successfully in the long term remains to be seen.
