Overview
- Appearing on At Broski – Die Sport-Show, Markus Babbel said, "The problem is not Max Eberl," arguing it is brutally hard for the sporting director to work because of constant "Störgeräusche."
- Babbel called Uli Hoeneß "one of the biggest problems" for Bayern, while noting Hoeneß’s achievements and his current position on the supervisory board.
- He condemned publicly running down employees as improper, saying such issues belong inside the club and likening the behavior to something that would cost a job in the private sector.
- The latest criticism traces back to Hoeneß’s SPORT1 Doppelpass appearance, where he characterized Eberl as "somewhat too sensitive."
- There were no organizational changes as the dispute remained a media debate, while Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge separately rejected Hoeneß’s comparison of Bayern to "the Hoffenheim of the Champions League."
