At Bayern Munich, according to agreed media reports, ex-striker Mario Gómez is considered a possible functional. The broadcaster “Sky” and the “Picture“-Zeitung report that the Munich team consider to expand or rebuild the management level and that the 39-year-old is interesting for this.
The chances that Gómez will soon open up with the Munich team, where he still lives, seem low. Even if the still very influential Bayern patron Uli Hoeneß is said to have advertised on the supervisory board for his former player. The long-time manager and president gives the appearance of ex-professional.
The former attacker, who had become Bayern twice from 2009 to 2013 and last season, has been a technical director at the Red Bull Group since 2022. As is reported, he feels very comfortable in the role of RB soccer boss Jürgen Klopp and therefore only extended until 2028. In the past year, he was said to have been asked about an agent whether he could imagine a role in his ex-club, but Gómez concentrates fully on RB. Nevertheless, he is still on the list for the future.
Is there any unrest in the executive floor of FC Bayern? More candidates
One reason why FC Bayern is also thinking about Gómez is according to “Sky” that it has been rumbling on the executive floor for months. The focus is on sports board member Max Eberl, who is a controversial character among some responsible persons. Too many alone, too little internal communication and lack of vote will be accused of.
Therefore, possible scenarios should already be carried out in the background if the paths of the German record champion and the 51-year-old were to separate at some point. Eberl’s contract is valid until 2027. Another candidate-especially in the event of a farewell to Eberl-is Eintracht Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche.
Bayern rumors recently existed about Ralf Rangnick, coach of the Austrian national team. The 66-year-old, who is criticized in the neighboring country, is probably more likely to be an overwhelmed position such as that of Gómez or that of Klopp (Global Head of Soccer) at Red Bull. Bayern recently negotiated with Rangnick as Thomas Tuchel’s successor, and no discussions are currently to be held.
