Bayern Munich exec Max Eberl update on coaching search

Bayern Munich coach Max Eberl knows that the club’s coaching search is at the forefront of every fan’s mind these days.

“I understand the rumours, I understand speculation, I understand that the whole country more or less is interested in this topic, even more than the Champions League semifinals with two German teams. I’ve never publicly commented on names because I know from experience that things can always happen until the contract is signed. Ralf has rejected our offer and told us the reasons. For us it was a surprise, but that’s life. As I said many times now, when a door closes, other doors open. Football is a fast moving business,” “It doesn’t always work with the first solution. That’s very normal. There are coaches who make other decisions, that’s legitimate. We have our ideas, were discussing, exploring — it didn’t work out until now. But in the end we’ll succeed.

“We’re looking for a coach with whom we can work in the long-term.”
