Max Eberl and Leipzig, it’s over. In office since the end of 2022, the 50-year-old German leader is dismissed from his position as General Director of Sport at RasenBallsport. The club justifies its decision by a “lack of investment” from the person concerned. “It has nothing to do with rebuilding the team or results on the pitch. Sports director Rouven Schröde will take over,” added the press release from Leipzig, currently fourth in the Bundesliga standings before facing Bayern on Saturday (6:30 p.m.).
Bayern is precisely where some sources are sending Max Eberl, former sporting director of Borussia Mönchengladbach. Fabrizio Romano, for example, presents him as a “concrete candidate for the position of new director”. Rumors denied by the person concerned, who however never really closed the door to the German champions according to the indiscretions of Sky.
