Bavarian Revolution: The Necessary Overhaul Facing Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich is facing its first season without titles in twelve years and in Germany they already assume that a major clean-up of their squad will take place. Although Max Eberl has not yet arrived at the club, his name already resonates in the Allianz Arena. He is expected to assume his role as the new sporting director of the six-time European champions starting in March and his task is monumental: start a necessary renewal process and make uncomfortable decisions after an exhaustive analysis of the situation.

The most urgent task is to reestablish a backbone on the pitch after the departures of leaders such as David Alaba, Thiago and Robert Lewandowski. Despite having invested more than €150 million in defense since 2021, Bayern have yet to find a successor worthy of Alaba. He is missing a leader in the center of defense. Upamecano, initially destined for that role, has made too many mistakes and Kim is not a born communicator, so De Ligt could be the solution. Of course, at the moment it does not count for coach Tuchel.

In midfield, Kimmich’s frustration after being substituted in the recent defeat against Bochum (3-2) sums up the situation perfectly. He seems overwhelmed as a leader and needs someone to back him up. The long-awaited means of containment, on which Tuchel insisted so much in the summer, may be the necessary renovation in that part of the field. The absence of a creative element since Thiago’s departure is also a key task for Eberl.

Up front, Kane will continue to be the Bavarian great bet as a scorer. He has 25 goals in 22 league games, but his role as a leader also has room for improvement. Regardless of this, the Englishman is untouchable at Bayern. The only players who also have this status are Neuer, Müller and Musiala, who is expected to be the face of the club over the next few years. For the rest, Bayern is facing a more than necessary revolution to regain its competitiveness and Eberl will be largely responsible for carrying it out.
