Bayern’s new board member for sport was tasked with reducing the wage bill while rebuilding a Bayern team that went the latest season trophyless and integrating young talent from the Bayern Campus. How does one make a team better and more successful while spending less money?
It has required some creativity, time and one clear goal that everyone worked towards, but the fruits of the labor are already starting to become clear as Bayern shed some high earners from the wage bill, integrate youngsters such as Lennart Karl and show immense improvement from the past season. How exactly was this plan put into action, though? “My task is clear: you should reduce the wage bill, maintain quality, and integrate the Campus – that sounds simple enough.
But achieving it requires a lot of work, composure, and clarity,” Eberl explained in an interview with German news site Tzmuenchen, as captured by @iMiaSanMia . “Precisely because we’re integrating the campus, established players will become high performers even faster, because they have to set the direction even more. We have young players pushing – and “older” players who are ready to take on leadership roles.
