Report: Bayern Munich's campus stands before massive overhaul as Christoph Freund and new sporting director take responsibility away from Max Eberl

"Michael Wiesinger will be signed as new sporting director and replace Markus Weinzierl in the position. Weinzierls contract expires in July 2026. A final decision on whether to let him go or give him another role at the Bayern campus has not been made yet. Wiesinger has already informed [Nürnberg] of his desire to leave. There are still contractual details left to clarify, such as when he will join [Bayern]. Initially, a start date of July was in mind."

"If he is signed, a major overhaul could take place at the Bayern campus. The responsibility will be given from [Bayern board member for sport] Max Eberl to [Bayern first team sporting director] Christoph Freund. Freund, Jochen Sauer and Wiesinger would form a trio in charge of the campus. There would be more changes. The position of U-19 head coach [currently helmed by Peter Gaydarov] could be filled anew. The composition of the U-23's coaching team is also under discussion."

Michael Wiesinger is set to be signed as the new sporting director and to replace Markus Weinzierl, whose contract runs until July 2026. A decision has not been made on whether Weinzierl will be released or moved to another role at the Bayern campus. Wiesinger has informed [Nürnberg] of his intent to leave, with contractual details and a start date still to be clarified; July was initially considered. If Wiesinger joins, a significant overhaul may follow, shifting responsibilities from Max Eberl to Christoph Freund and forming a leadership trio with Freund, Jochen Sauer and Wiesinger. Potential changes include filling the U-19 head coach role, revising the U-23 coaching team, and further impacts on the senior team division after head scout Nils Schmadtke's department overhaul and reported departures.
