Bayern Munich’s successful season is followed by conflict inside the supervisory board. Max Eberl has drawn direct criticism, and Uli Hoeneß is also facing scrutiny because he was a key driver behind Eberl’s hiring. Some insiders view Eberl’s potential dismissal as Hoeneß’s second consecutive mistake, after he previously appointed Oliver Kahn as CEO. Hoeneß indicated he understands what people at the club are thinking and avoided making statements he could not later support. The situation is framed as limited by board decision-making, since Hoeneß does not control outcomes alone despite appearances. Internal strife is occurring while the club prepares for further goals, including a Champions League title.
"Uli Hoeneß himself is facing criticism within the supervisory board on the topic of Max Eberl. Ultimately, it was Hoeneß who almost single-handedly appointed Eberl. Should the latter be dismissed, this would be Hoeneß' second consecutive 'mistake' after he also singlehandedly appointed Oliver Kahn as CEO - at least that's how some behind the scenes see it"
"Hoeneß said after the Pokal final regarding Eberl's future: "I know what people at the club are thinking. So I don't want to say something I can't stand by later""
"The message is clear: Even if Hoeneß wanted to keep Eberl, he couldn't do it alone. He isn't the only one who decides on the supervisory board - even though it often appears that way from the outside."
"At a time where the club should be celebrating a great season just before devising a strategy to take the team to the next level - a Champions League title - there is internal strife and bickering per reports."
