"After that, we made decisions - without buying players left, right and center. We made good and smart decisions. We signed Tom Bischof on a free, Jonathan Tah on a free, promoted young players like Lennart Karl and Wisdom Mike from our campus. It's not like we made a big 'transfer attack' - we had thoughts and ideas with our coach and made a strategy."
"I remember a year and a half ago we finished third in the league. Bayer Leverkusen was the reference back then. VfB Stuttgart impressed with some very attractive football. We were on the ground. After that, we made decisions - without buying players left, right and center. We made good and smart decisions. We signed Tom Bischof on a free, Jonathan Tah on a free, promoted young players like Lennart Karl and Wisdom Mike from our campus."
Bayern Munich finished third in 2023/24, ending an eleven-year Bundesliga title streak. Sporting director Max Eberl credited a strategic recovery that avoided heavy spending and prioritized smart decisions, free transfers, and youth promotions. Key moves included free signings Tom Bischof and Jonathan Tah and promoting academy players Lennart Karl and Wisdom Mike. The club replaced Thomas Tuchel with Vincent Kompany, a shift that accelerated the turnaround and reestablished Bayern's dominance. The strategy emphasized planning with the coach rather than a large transfer blitz. Bayern's resurgence has contributed to a one-sided Bundesliga, a situation likely to persist while Kompany remains head coach.
