Uli Hoeneß has revealed that he regrets publicly discussing Max Eberl's contract situation before Bayern Munich's DFB-Pokal final, admitting his comments came at the wrong time. Speaking to Sport1, the Bayern honorary president reflected on his previous statement, in which he had put Eberl's chances of receiving a new contract at "60-40." I thought the statements would be published the following week, but they were already made public on Saturday morning." Asked whether his assessment of Eberl's contract situation had changed, Hoeneß left no room for doubt. The comments are the clearest indication yet that Bayern's hierarchy expects Eberl to remain at the club, with a contract extension now appearing to be only a matter of time.
