Bayern’s big bosses, including Uli Hoeneß, were still in favour of appointing Hansi Flick in the past few days. But Max Eberl said ‘no, trust me, I see something in Vincent Kompany’ – Eberl insisted on Kompany and ultimately prevailed internally [ @Plettigoal]

  1. God, I really hope this won‘t be held against Eberl by our „big bosses“ if it fails. Even if it fails, it was better than Flick.

  2. Good. I loved Flick, and what he did will probably never be matched, but I think it’s good that Bayern is taking a risk in going for a system oriented manager that will focus on tactical flexibility and modernizing the team’s football, which is what almost every elite side is doing at the moment. Only Real Madrid can afford not to do that, (but even they are getting Xabi in 2025). Having a “tactician” system manager is no longer an eccentricity or luxury, but a basic need for any elite side, and I think Bayern has stagnated in that regard.

    Bayern has not had a system manager last more than two seasons since Pep, and has sacked the only two managers that have tried that (Nagelsmann and Tuchel), so with Kompany they’re making that bet again, which is a correct one, but the key for it to work is to give the guy at least 3 seasons.

  3. So if it didn’t work out Ebrel will be scapegoat.

  4. I support uli this time. Paying 20 mil for a championship coach is just sad. People are saying he will be our Alonso or Arteta . There is a difference between us and leverkusen . We are expected to win atleast two trophies in a season . Only real and city have these kinds of expectations . I don’t think this was a right decision NY peter griffin .

  5. I miss the times when world only used to know the final decisions at the Bayern not where each and every board member is shitting

  6. Oh great, if and when the team slips under kompany next season hoeness is going to throw him under the bus and we’ll do this all over again

  7. Uli, it is time to retire, just stfu, dont destroy your whole reputation.

  8. Holy fuck. Uli still hijacking Eberl.

    Please kick this old man out.
