Sky Germany reports that Max Eberl is set to extend his contract with Bayern Munich until 30 June 2029, with approval from the club’s Supervisory Board expected at its meeting on Tuesday.
The proposed agreement is regarded as a formality, although the extension comes with changes to Eberl’s responsibilities within the club. He has not been in charge of Bayern Munich’s campus base for some time, with that area of the club’s work now managed by Christoph Freund and Mario Sauer.
Eberl is also expected to part company with chief scout Neels Schmatke as part of the changes surrounding the new contract.
The Supervisory Board’s decision is the remaining formal step before the contract extension can be confirmed. Sky Germany says there is little doubt that the board will approve the deal, which would keep Eberl at Bayern Munich through to the end of June 2029.
The restructuring means Eberl’s future at the club is being secured alongside a clearer division of duties. Responsibility for the campus base has already moved to Freund and Sauer, while the departure of Schmatke will bring an end to his time as Bayern Munich’s chief scout.
No further details about the terms of Eberl’s contract extension or the timing of Schmatke’s departure have been given. The main development is the expectation that Eberl will continue in his role until 2029, subject to the Supervisory Board’s formal approval on Tuesday.
Eberl’s current responsibilities therefore differ from those he held previously, particularly in relation to the campus base. That work is now being handled by Freund and Sauer, while Schmatke will leave his position as chief scout.
The report comes ahead of the Supervisory Board meeting, where members are expected to endorse the agreement. Once approved, Eberl’s contract would run until 30 June 2029, extending his stay at Bayern Munich and confirming the changes to the club’s organisational structure.
The proposed extension and the departure of Schmatke are linked in the report as part of the adjustments being made around Eberl’s position. While the board’s approval remains necessary, it is considered unlikely to prevent the agreement from going through.
