Max Eberl flattered by Bayern links in Bundesliga

Matthias Sammer quit the role at Bayern on Monday, three months after being diagnosed with a brain illness he has since recovered from.

Eberl, a former youth player at the Bundesliga giants, has been spoken about for the role.

"Of course, you already feel a little flattered if one is associated with Bayern," he told Sport Bild.

Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the club had no plans to replace Sammer "until further notice".

Eberl is contracted at Monchengladbach until 2020.
