“Not everyone will understand it.” The head of “Bayern Munich” ridicules the Saudi “Al-Ittihad” news

Bayern Munich’s sporting director Max Eberl denied rumors of a move to Saudi Arabia’s Roshan Professional League and did not miss the opportunity to make a light joke during his speech.

The Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiya reported yesterday, Thursday, that… Al-Ittihad has contacted Eberle and held preliminary talks with him about taking over as sporting director.succeeding Spain’s Ramon Blanes to lead Dean’s turnaround revolution after coming off a scoreless season.

Eberle was asked about the news during a press conference on Friday, and he said:

He explained. “Yes, I was actually in Saudi Arabia… but with Germany’s under-18 team. That’s all that ties me there. Everything else is just imagination.”

Eberl’s contract with Bayern Munich is extended until 2027, but his long-term future is still undecided.

“If they see that I’m doing my job well, I’m ready to stay longer at Bayern,” Eberl told DAZN after their Champions League bye against Paris Saint-Germain.

However, the board of directors of the club has not yet expressed any intention to extend the contract with him early.

Eberl joined Bayern Munich at the start of 2024 and has already won two league titles. The team also has a chance to win the German Cup for the first time since 2020 when they face Stuttgart in the final on May 23, after playing against Cologne in the last round of the Bundesliga tomorrow, Saturday.
