❌ It is NOT TRUE: Max Eberl and Christoph Freund’s relationship has become strained in recent weeks. Yesterday at the stadium, we talked with the bosses, with the CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, and with the President, Herbert Hainer, and they both said it’s complete nonsense. Eberl and Freund are working very well together. The thing we need to watch out for is the future of Max Eberl. The supervisory board (made up of Uli Hoeneß, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Herbert Hainer) have to decide what will happen with the head of sport, Eberl, this summer.
Christoph Freund, who’s a level lower (as the sporting director), has earned the confidence of the Bayern bosses, and he’s going to get a new contract. The same can’t be said for absolutely certain, as far as Max Eberl is concerned. So, I can appreciate how, from the outside looking in, some might feel there’s a problem between these two guys, but that simply isn’t the case. They’re working really well together, and they’ve made some great decisions. They brought Michael Olise in, they brought Vincent Kompany in, and while it may be hard for Liverpool fans to hear, they also brought Luis Diaz in. It’s possible that FC Bayern have the best offence in Europe, as we’ve seen in the win against Real Madrid. This is ultimately thanks to the work of these two guys.
