RB Leipzig’s club boss Oliver Mintzlaff has announced further talks with Borussia Mönchengladbach about Max Eberl’s commitment as sports director.
“Now we’re at a point that we want Max to want it, and I’ll have talks with Mr. Schippers from Gladbach in the next few days, then we’ll see if we can get together,” said the Bundesliga club’s CEO to “Bild “: “If we don’t get together, then we certainly have to look for another alternative.”
Immediately after the cup victory at the end of May, Eberl canceled the Saxons, said Mintzlaff. “Nevertheless, I didn’t let go of Max Eberl, knowing full well that the door wasn’t even open a crack. I stayed a bit stubborn, and at some point the gap opened up more and more, so I gave it more gas,” said Mintzlaff , who could bring together the former Gladbach management duo after coach Marco Rose was hired.
Tedesco separation “not an easy step”
After the convincing 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund, he praised the team’s performance. “It was now the first game, it certainly went the way we had ideally imagined, that the team shows its virtues again, we win against Dortmund and pick up speed again, just as we had imagined before the season.” , he said.
Mintzlaff also thanked Domenico Tedesco for his success. He held the team accountable. “We had the feeling that what the team can do, that they can’t do it any more. When we parted ways with the coach, and it wasn’t an easy step for us, not an easy step for me personally, I spoke to the team and said that that’s far too little of you for me. And that there are too many I-AGs for me.”
