BILD's editorial takes on the issue. - Eberl faces potential job loss due to Kompany.
Seemingly, he has been in the running for a while now. When it comes to the ranking, he might only be second to Alonso, Nagelsmann, Rangnick, Glasner, Schmidt, and Tuchel. If you think of him as the top pick, you could have made your move earlier.
We're referring to the seventh preference here, but Sporting Director Max Eberl (50) stated, "The best comes last." Now, the seventh choice is nearing its end.
Bayern are hoping that Kompany will be their Xabi Alonso (42). Is this hope well-founded, or are they merely overcomplicating things?
Similarities can be drawn. The reigning coach of Leverkusen also arrived unexpectedly, having previously only coached the reserve side of San Sebastian. Leverkusen's frontman was also a strategic thinker as a player at Real, Bayern & Liverpool - much like Kompany for eleven years at Manchester City. Both have also served under Guardiola, who predicts a bright coaching future for Kompany.
The major disparity between Bayer and Bayern: Alonso was granted the opportunity to blossom in Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Kompany must perform immediately with triumphs and titles at Bayern.
Eberl is taking a gamble not only for the club but also for himself. It's hard to imagine Eberl remaining in the role if Kompany leaves prematurely due to insufficient success. In any event, the new Sporting Director is showing audacity.
Unquestionably, if Kompany succeeds, it would be a significant accomplishment for Eberl and could potentially expedite the complete exit of backstage figure Hoeness. Then Eberl would possess as much power and leeway as never before.
P.S. Prior to Kompany, the coach appointments of Lerby (1991), Rehhagel (1995), and Klinsmann (2008) were considered the greatest surprises. All of them failed to make it through their first season at Bayern.
