Overview

• On SPORT1’s Doppelpass, Hoeneß called Eberl “ziemlich empfindlich” and said he struggles to delegate, while also praising his work and describing current collaboration as “good” as Bayern seeks a cohesive leadership team not found since his and Rummenigge’s exits.
• SPORT1 analyst Peter Neururer said the remarks weaken Eberl’s standing and predicted he will not last long, with MOPO also citing Didi Hamann and Mario Basler voicing similar forecasts as opinion.
• Sepp Maier told SPORT1 that Hoeneß’s comments were intended to toughen and support Eberl, adding he does not believe Eberl will resign.
• The fallout includes a renewed spat with Lothar Matthäus over Nick Woltemade’s valuation, with Hoeneß insulting the TV pundit and Matthäus labeling the remarks “peinlich.”
• No personnel change has been announced, but missed targets such as Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltemade, a 25-man squad, and injuries to Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito sustain pressure as Hoeneß vows to speak out again if he sees things going wrong.
