Uli Hoeneß is currently working on his legacy, which he wants to be well positioned for the future. The two board members Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic as well as the coach Julian Nagelsmann are no longer working for Bayern.

The club patriarch was previously said to have been the driving force behind the appointment of new sports director Christoph Freund. The deal has not yet been finally signed, Bild and the pay channel Sky reported in unison. Eberl's former club RB Leipzig will receive a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros.
