Michael Reschke praises work done by Max Eberl at Bayern Munich

Nairavoice · Sep 8, 2026 · 1 min read

Michael Reschke believes Max Eberl has done enough to justify his new contract at Bayern Munich, and his assessment carries plenty of weight given his own history at the club.

Reschke joined Bayern Munich in 2014 as the club’s first technical director, following 35 years at Bayer Leverkusen. He spent three seasons in Munich before leaving in 2017 to become sporting director at VfB Stuttgart. During his time with Bayern Munich, he was heavily involved in squad building and scouting.

Now, Reschke is backing Eberl after Bayern Munich extended his contract through 2029.

“If I look purely at Max’s record, then we have a top team that plays exciting football. He’s brought in one of the best coaches in the world, someone you simply have to admire, and who is a gift to FC Bayern. Overall, his transfer policy is sound. That there are internal discussions about one or two personnel decisions is just business as usual at a club like FC Bayern. The squad is extremely well-planned and of the highest European standard. There’s a lot I really like about it,” Reschke told Abendzeitung.

Reschke’s argument is ultimately about looking at the bigger picture.

Eberl has faced criticism during his time in charge, but Reschke believes the quality of the squad, the appointment of Vincent Kompany and the overall direction of the team provide a strong case for the extension.

And with Bayern Munich committing Eberl to 2029, the club clearly agrees.
