Max Eberl (born September 21, 1973 in Bogen , Lower Bavaria ) is a German football official and former football player .
Career
societies
Eberl was trained in the youth of FC Bayern Munich. In 1989 he became German champion with the B-Jugend . In 1991 Eberl moved up to the amateur team that played in the Regionalliga Süd . By 1994 he had completed 48 games. For the 1991/92 season he was brought into the professional team and was used in the Bundesliga match on October 19, 1991 (14th matchday) in the 2: 3 defeat in the away game against VfB Stuttgart .
During the 1993/1994 season he moved to VfL Bochum for three and a half seasons . From summer 1997 to December 31, 1998, Max Eberl played for SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the second division and moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach on January 1, 1999 . On April 17, 2004 (29th matchday), the defender played his last of a total of 215 league games in a 1-1 draw in the home game against Hertha BSC.
National team
Eberl played his first game for the U-20 national team on October 20, 1992 in a 1-1 draw against Mexico. Seven more international matches followed, including two at the 1993 Junior World Cup in Australia , where the U-20 national team was eliminated in the preliminary round.
For the U-21 national team he was used twelve times, where he also took over the captain's armband from him on November 16, 1993 in Koblenz when Christian Nerlinger was replaced ; the game against the national team of Luxembourg was won 2-0. He played his last international game on October 10, 1995 in Cardiff in a 5-1 win over the national team of Wales.
Sports official
At the beginning of 2005 Eberl worked as a youth coordinator at Borussia Mönchengladbach; he officially belonged to the squad for the 2004/05 season .
After the head coach Jos Luhukay was released on October 5, 2008, Eberl and Steffen Korell took over responsibility for finding a new coach; the sports director Christian Ziege trained the professional team as an interim coach.
When Borussia and Eberl's former trainer Hans Meyer took office as head coach, Max Eberl took over the post of sports director from Christian Ziege , who was co-trainer under Meyer, on October 19, 2008 . On June 24, 2010, he also moved up to the management of Borussia Mönchengladbach GmbH together with Stephan Schippers .
After the resignation of Hans Meyer, he signed Michael Frontzeck for the 2009/10 season , to whom he held on for a long time in 2011 despite relegation worries. After two consecutive defeats against direct competitors (2: 3 against VfB Stuttgart on the 21st and 1: 3 at FC St. Pauli on the 22nd matchday), Frontzeck was given leave of absence. A day later, Lucien Favre was signed as the new coach. This started a race to catch up, at the end of which the relegation place stood with 36 points. There Borussia Mönchengladbach prevailed against VfL Bochum.
This was followed by a very successful era for Borussia under Lucien Favre, in which they qualified twice for the Europa League and in 2015 for the first time for the group stage of the Champions League . Despite these successes, Lucien Favre resigned on September 20, 2015 after six consecutive competitive defeats at the start of the season against the will of Max Eberl and the rest of the club's management.
Max Eberl promoted André Schubert , the U-23 coach, to interim coach, who was able to close the season very successfully with the renewed qualification for the Champions League. Despite this success and his permanent position as head coach in winter, Schubert did not have a good start to the coming season , so Eberl fired him shortly before Christmas 2016.
The experienced Dieter Hecking , who finished the season in ninth place, was signed as his successor . Even after the following season , Borussia was on this place. The 18/19 season then turned out to be more successful and ended up in fifth place with qualification for the Europa League. Although this success was becoming apparent, at the beginning of April 2019 Max Eberl informed Hecking and the public that the cooperation with the trainer would not continue beyond the end of the season. Dieter Hecking still ended the season and was then, as planned by Eberl, replaced by Marco Rose for the following year .
This risky move of replacing a successful coach with another one who expected even more was a matter of controversy among the public. Ultimately, Eberl was right with his decision, because Marco Rose ended his first season in fourth place and thus again qualifying for the Champions League.
All in all, the time under Max Eberl must be seen as the most successful phase of Borussia since the titles of the 1970s . In particular, since Favre's commitment, the club has finished each season in a single-digit position, which only FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were able to do during this time . In addition, they reached the Europa League and the Champions League three times in these nine years.
During Eberl's tenure, Dante , Marco Reus , Granit Xhaka , Christoph Kramer , Max Kruse , Lars Stindl , Matthias Ginter and many others included many well-known transfers that were made by a number of successful players from his own youth such as Tony Jantschke , Marc-André ter Stegen , Patrick Herrmann and Julian Korb .
Max Eberl's current contract runs until June 30, 2022.
