Eberl's characterization by Hoeneß as having a touch of sensitivity

In the anniversary show "30 Years of 'Doppelpass' on Sport1," Uli Hoeneß, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, hinted at disagreements with sporting director Max Eberl during the recent transfer period.

Hoeneß explained that the period was challenging for Eberl due to external pressure and criticism, particularly surrounding the transfers of Florian Wirtz and Nick Woltmade to England. Both players moved to England for high fees, causing a stir in Munich.

Despite the pressure, Eberl has not expressed intentions of resigning from his position. The Supervisory Board of Bayern Munich stands behind him, and there has been no discussion of separating from Max Eberl.

Hoeneß noted that it's normal to not always see eye to eye, referencing past disagreements with Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. He also commented that Max Eberl is a bit sensitive about disagreements.

No specific disagreements between Hoeneß and Eberl regarding a particular player were mentioned. The article does not provide details about the nature of the challenges Eberl faced during the transfer period or the nature of the disagreements between Hoeneß and Eberl.

Hoeneß mentioned that Bayern Munich's financial situation is an important factor in their transfer decisions. He used Barcelona as an example, implying that accumulating debt through constant buying can be detrimental, although the exact amount of debt Barcelona has was not disclosed in the article.

If a transfer doesn't work out, it's the fault of the club, not the individual, Hoeneß stated. He emphasized that there are no individual transfers (Eberl, Hoeneß, or Rummenigge) but rather FC Bayern transfers.

The current sporting director of Bayern Munich is not explicitly named in the search results, but Hoeneß was under pressure during the last transfer period, with some critique regarding transfer sums and market challenges. There is no direct mention of a female sporting director or explicit pressure on her before the last transfer period in the provided information.
