Overview

• On Sport1’s Doppelpass, Uli Hoeneß said Max Eberl reacts sensitively to resistance and delegates too little, adding that he and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge will not fully step back until key posts are secure.
• Later on ZDF Sportstudio, Eberl replied that not everything must be public and emphasized resolving matters behind closed doors based on methods he considers proven.
• Reactions in German media split, with SPORT1 analyst Stefan Effenberg praising Eberl’s answer while journalist Cedric Pick described Hoeneß’s remarks as a reputational degradation.
• BILD reporter Heiko Niedderer characterized the relationship as strained and suggested Eberl’s long-term role is not guaranteed, framing his outlook as expectation rather than certainty.
• CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and president Herbert Hainer urged perspective in public comments, as Eberl said the working relationship remains intact and highlighted a transfer window he views positively.
