After a period of uncertainty in the latter stages of Bayerns 2025/26 domestic double season, its now looking like Eberl has done enough to convince the clubs hierarchy to extend his stay beyond 2027, when his current contract is set to expire.The supervisory board will officially decide on Eberls extension after their next meeting later this month and its understood internally that theyre pleased with the summer transfer business thats already been completed this summer with bringing in Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven and Nathaniel Brown from Eintracht Frankfurt in addition to signing Bara Sapoko Ndiaye on his first professional contract with the club. In addition to incoming signings, Eberls task remaining this summer, alongside sporting director Christoph Freund, is to try to offload out-of-favor players to help better balance Bayerns overall wage bill.When Eberl was directly asked about his future at the clubs preseason training camp in Tegernsee, the 52-year-old remained rather tight-lipped in his answer and said hes just focused on doing his job right now.Thats not my task. My task is to do my job. Ive been doing that for over two years now: building a squad that can bring success, with players with whom we can identify, playing football that people enjoy watching. Thats my task. And then a decision will be made about me. But thats not our topic today, Eberl replied when he was asked about his future and upcoming expiring contract next year.Of course, all signs are pointing towards an extension for Eberl, but he might not have known that at the time he was asked the question in Tegernsee. There were certainly doubts before this past season ended that he would be offered an extension, but the supervisory board now seems pleased enough to be able to extend his contract with what theyve seen so far this summer.
