On paper, Uli Hoeneß is “only” a member of the supervisory board and honorary president at FC Bayern.
But his influence is apparently far greater.
Munich – Uli Hoeneß no longer handles things as briskly as he did in his “active” days.
In public, he largely holds back from making statements that have caused a lot of excitement in the past.
Internally, Hoeneß still seems to have a lot of influence at FC Bayern.

Plan at FC Bayern with Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic went wrong
As
Sport Bild
reports, Hoeneß is currently working on his legacy, which he wants to be well positioned for the future.
Of course, this refers to the German record champions and record cup winners, who have been navigating pretty choppy waters for weeks.
Hoeneß' first attempt went quite wrong.
The two board members Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic as well as the coach Julian Nagelsmann no longer work for Bayern.
Kahn was Hoeneß' choice as CEO, which also heralded the early departure of CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
Salihamidzic was also considered a confidant of Hoeneß.
Uli Hoeneß should continue to rebuild FC Bayern according to his ideas.

FC Bayern: Max Eberl is said to be Thomas Tuchel's buffer
After the early elimination from the DFB Cup and the many mixed performances in the Bundesliga, criticism of Nagelsmann's successor Thomas Tuchel is growing.
A public discussion broke out about the Bayern coach after the harsh criticism from TV expert Dietmar Hamann.
A few days ago, former Bayern player Thomas Strunz had clear words for Tuchel.
Hoeneß, as Sport Bild
writes
, now wants to install a kind of buffer stop that will protect Tuchel from opening up unnecessary secondary theaters of war.
Hoeneß is said to have chosen Max Eberl for this role.
Hoeneß has wanted to install the currently clubless manager at Bayern several times in the past.
It hasn't worked so far.
The deal has not yet been finally signed,
Bild
and the pay channel Sky reported in unison.
Eberl's former club RB Leipzig, where he still has a valid contract, will receive a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros.
By signing Eberl as the new sports director, the Munich team has clarified an important personnel detail during the restructuring of the management team.

Uli Hoeneß installs “his” people in key positions at FC Bayern
So Hoeneß continues to work on his legacy and is probably still the most powerful man at FC Bayern.
The club patriarch was previously said to have been the driving force behind the appointment of new sports director Christoph Freund.
With President Herbert Hainer, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, sports director Eberl and sports director Freund, all of Bayern's key positions would be filled by those responsible that Hoeneß had brought into the club.
After more than 40 years as manager, board member, president and supervisory board of FC Bayern, Hoeneß announced before the annual general meeting in November 2019 that he would no longer run for the office of club president.
He also announced his resignation as chairman of the supervisory board.
Since then he has been a member of the supervisory board and also honorary president.
