Bayern boss responds to Saudi Arabia links Saudi Arabian outlet Arriyadiyah recently suggested that Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl had held talks with Al-Ittihad over a possible role as sporting director at the club. However, Eberl firmly dismissed the report at a press conference on Friday. โ€œI thought about answering jokingly.

But then I wasnโ€™t sure everyone would understand it correctly,โ€ Eberl said. โ€œI actually wanted to say: yes, I was in Saudi Arabia โ€“ with the German U18 national team. Thatโ€™s my experience of Saudi Arabia.

Everything else is from another world. A lot is being written along those lines. But no.

โ€ Eberlโ€™s contract with Bayern runs until 2027, and the 52-year-old recently told DAZN that he is open to extending his stay at the club.
