Bayern Munich, Nils Schmadtke and Max Eberl
2 November 2026
Bayern Munich have agreed to part ways with head scout Nils Schmadtke on 31 January 2027, several months before his contract was due to expire.
Bayern confirmed the departure by mutual consent. Schmadtke joined in October 2024 and oversaw scouting for the first team and youth system. The club credited his contribution to restructuring recruitment, while reports cited internal criticism of his leadership. Bayern’s sporting department must now identify a replacement ahead of future transfer windows.
Why It Matters
The departure creates a senior recruitment vacancy as Bayern plan their next transfer campaigns.
