Hoeneß upgrades Eberl’s stay chance from 60:40 to 100%
Uli Hoeneß publicly altered the Prozent‑Chance of Max Eberl’s Verbleib at FC Bayern, moving from a 60:40 estimate to a full 100% certainty. The shift was announced just days before the DFB‑Pokal Finale, prompting immediate discussion about the sporting director’s future.
The Äußerungen surfaced in the media round (Runde) immediately before the DFB‑Pokal final, circulating widely among fans and journalists. Hoeneß had earlier told Spiegel that the chance of a Vertragsverlängerung for the Sportvorstand stood at 60:40, a figure that sparked considerable Aufsehen.
Spiegel’s report highlighted the Timing of the statement, noting that the Vehemenz of the comment amplified its impact. The speculation about Eberl’s Zukunft generated intense debate, especially because it arrived so close to the cup final.
In the aftermath, Hoeneß reflected on his own reaction during a test match at FC Rottach‑Egern, a 15:0 victory that he discussed via Sky. He admitted he was "unheimlich über mich selbst geärgert" – essentially annoyed with himself for the premature leak.
Hoeneß explained the interview’s timing: the conversation took place on a Friday evening in Berlin, and he assumed Spiegel would publish it the following Friday, as usual. Instead, the outlet released the comments on Saturday morning, just hours before the final, which he said treated Eberl "nicht gut".
He subsequently apologized to Eberl, acknowledging that the premature exposure was unfair. The manager had previously spoken of a gemeinsame Aussprache, indicating a joint discussion was already planned.
Now, Hoeneß states the Chance of Eberl’s Verbleib is "auf 100" Prozent. Eberl’s Vertrag runs until summer 2027, and the updated assessment suggests he can look forward to a Verlängerung.
