According to Red Bull managing director Oliver Mintzlaff, Max Eberl and those responsible at RB Leipzig did not part ways in a dispute.
“There wasn’t a big bang. It’s not like we had an argument – on the contrary. Max and I had a very neat and good phone call yesterday,” said Mintzlaff on ZDF’s “Sportstudio”. “It’s not like there’s anything between Max and me, not at all. That was a decision that Max could understand and that he accepted.”
The cup winner had separated from his sports director Eberl due to a lack of “commitment to the club”, as RB announced. Mintzlaff didn’t want to let it go that the timing was bad one day before the top game against Bayern Munich (2:2). “You saw today: That had no impact, I said that before the game.”
Bayer Leverkusen sports director Simon Rolfes would be critical of Eberl’s quick move to record champions Bayern Munich, where he has been traded for a long time. “After a separation like that – for whatever reason it happened – I would find it difficult to immediately start somewhere else,” said the ex-professional: “But in the end I don’t want to judge that either.”
