According to a report from Saudi Arabian newspaper Arriyadiyah (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Al-Ittihad has not only expressed interest in Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl, but has also already spoken to the Bavarians executive:
Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad have contacted and held talks with Max Eberl to discuss the possibility of hiring him to lead the club’s sporting project. Talks have stalled and have not led to an agreement due to differences regarding vision and future strategy. Al-Ittihad are considering other names for the job.
This is…interesting and would be a very odd move for Eberl (aside of the copious amount of money he would make). There is inherent pressure built into his job at Bayern Munich and — at times — it seems to have worn on him. For the most part, though, he has been seen in good spirits and has been active in the media, which alleviates some of the concern about burnout.
Will Al-Ittihad be able to get a deal done with Eberl? It seems doubtful, but crazier things have happened.
