Tackling the Bayern AGenda
Did the Bayern higher-ups set the stage for Eberl before that evening's festivities?
That enigmatic dinner following a pivotal gathering raised quite a few eyebrows, especially with the unexpected presence of Thomas Tuchel, a non-board member.
Interestingly, the coach did attend, despite not being an actual member of the nine-strong board.
This subtle demonstration of influence hints at the coach's importance within the club.
The convivial gathering ensued at DO & CO, culminating in excellent cuisine and company. Prior to this delicious indulgence, the board had convened at 5:00 pm, presumably tackling the intricacies of club management.
The Green Light for Eberl!
The committee, consisting of nine members including Dr. Gernot Döllner from Audi, Dr. Werner Zedelius as Senior Advisor to Allianz, Dr. Jan Heinemann from Adidas, Telekom board member Thorsten Langheim, and Dr. Edmund Stoiber among others, discussed the fundamental structure of the management team and the necessity of a Brazzo successor following the appointment of Christoph Freund.
The Sentiment Before the Summit: A Change was Needed!
The prevailing sentiment before the gathering held a resounding conviction regarding the need for a Brazzo successor; thus, the club appeared poised to make a move for the top caliber candidate, Max Eberl.
Eberl's Potential Role, in the Bayern Spotlight
Should the club opt for the ex-Leipzig boss, the deal would likely progress in a mere formality.
Eberl, a native Munich resident with a rich pedigree, has the advantage of knowing Hoeneß on a personal level and has a considerable resume – having played for FC Bayern from 1991 to 1994, and in their youth ranks from 1979.
