The coaching position in Munich is apparently not as attractive at the moment as Bayern believe it should be. This could be because the Munich team has recently brought out the worst in their coaches.
Max Eberl’s best achievement as Borussia Mönchengladbach’s sports director was not hiring a coach. His best achievement was keeping a coach: Lucien Favre, whose quirks forced manager Eberl to give up all his skills. Favre’s contribution to Borussia’s sporting revival was undisputed, but when the parties ultimately parted ways, they did so in the belief that they had lasted nine years together. Which was also true: according to conventional counting, there were only four and a half, but Favre years count twice.
