Christoph Freund wants former RB Salzburg colleague Seonbuchner at Bayern Munich

FC Bayern is adding personnel to maximize its youth system and is seeking talent from RB Salzburg. Bernhard Seonbuchner, a former sporting director at Salzburg and a former colleague of Christoph Freund, is expected to move to FC Bayern. The transfer is reported to require approval from Salzburg. In Munich, Seonbuchner would take a key Campus role and work closely with the first team. He is expected to help shape the transition between academy and first-team setups and to observe and contribute to youth training sessions daily. He holds a UEFA Pro License and previously worked at FC Liefering as Director of Football within the RB multi-club structure.

"Former RB Salzburg sporting director Bernhard Seonbuchner is set for a move to FC Bayern, where he's expected to take over a 'key role' at the Campus and also work closely with the first team. Seonbuchner had replaced Christoph Freund in Salzburg after the latter moved to Bayern, with the pair now set to be reunited in Munich."

"Christoph Freund is looking to bring his old Salzburg colleague Bernhard Seonbuchner to FC Bayern. The move still needs approval from Salzburg. In Munich, Seonbuchner is set to help shape the transition between the academy and the first team. The 42-year-old will also be heavily involved with the coaches, he would observe and contribute to the development of the youth teams' training sessions on a daily basis. Seonbuchner holds a UEFA Pro License."

"The role Seonbuchner currently plays for the RB multi-group ownership is Director of Football at Salzburg's feeder club, FC Liefering. He first took the role for 12 months in 2022 before being promoted to Sporting Director at Salzburg. There, he made some poor decisions and kept the role at what he called the coolest club in the world for just 15 months before being put back in his role as Director of Football at FC Liefering."
