Bayern Munich execs set to make decision on Max Eberl’s future before this season ends

Max Eberl has been board member for sport at Bayern Munich since March of 2024 after he had been dismissed from his role at RB Leipzig once Die Roten Bullen had accepted the fact that he would be focusing his efforts on his move to Bayern. There was a bit of a baptism by fire for Eberl, as one of his first major tasks as the new board member for sport was to handle the contract negotiations and extensions for Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Joshua Kimmich — no easy feat for someone who had left his role as sporting director at Borussia Mönchengladbach for what he had referred to as severe burnout and exhaustion.

Nonetheless, Eberl has taken decent hold of his responsibilities as board member for sport at Bayern and it’s hard to argue against just how well the team is currently performing under Vincent Kompany on the heels of winning another Bundesliga title last season. Missing out on getting Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen when he chose to join Liverpool instead of Bayern, at the time, was perceived as a bit of a stain on Eberl’s résumé, but the success of Luis Díaz this season has significantly alleviated any lingering sense of missing the boat with Wirtz.

Per information from Sport Bild’s Christian Falk (via @iMiaSanMia), Bayern’s supervisory board is set to come together and make a decision on Eberl’s future by the end of this year at the very latest. His current contract with the club runs through June 2027 and internally, it is felt that the club is leaning towards offering him an extension. The summer transfer window was reportedly a period where he was heavily under the microscope from the club’s hierarchy, but much like the front office, the Bayern bosses are happy with where the squad is at and they’ve only just welcomed back Davies from a long-term injury with Musiala soon set to make a return to action from a long layover of his own.

Additionally, Eberl was a key player in getting Jonathan Tah to sign from Leverkusen and subsequently negotiating the deal to have him released from Die Werkself on time to join Bayern for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. Right now, he’s spearheading efforts to get new deals over the line for Dayot Upamecano, Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane and all signs are pointing to the trio of players agreeing to want to stay — more factors that bode quite well for Eberl with regard to the supervisory board deciding on his future soon.
