Max Eberl Is Bayern Munich's New Head of Sport

Previously, Eberl was the director of sport at RB Leipzig up until late September 2023, when the club terminated his contract due to a perceived lack of commitment to RB Leipzig.

A meeting earlier today (February 26th) meant that the FC Bayern München AG supervisory board unanimously resolved that Max Eberl is the right person for the job.

There have been rumours that Eberl was going to join the club since January, with the deal only officially been confirmed in late February following the supervisory board's meeting.

Regarding the news, Max Eberl said: I spent my entire childhood and youth at FC Bayern and in Munich, so it’s something special for me to return in a new role to the club where it all began. The job as Board Member for Sport is a great challenge, which I will approach with a lot of respect and humility, but with even more anticipation."

He has a big task ahead of him, as the Bavarians are currently eight points off league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
