Bayern chiefs Eberl and Dreesen sign new contracts

Bayern Munich have extended the contracts of board member for sport Max Eberl and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.

Both have signed new deals running until 2029, the German champions confirmed on Tuesday evening.

“Continuity provides direction; stability brings strength: we need both to ensure FC Bayern continues to develop consistently at the very highest level,” said chairman of the supervisory board Herbert Hainer.

“Especially in the dynamic competitive environment in which a top international club must forge its own path, consistency stands for a clear conviction. With Jan-Christian Dreesen, Max Eberl and Rouven Kasper, our board is ideally positioned to drive FC Bayern forward both in sporting and commercial terms and to maintain its leading position in Europe.”

Dreesen joined Bayern as chief financial officer in 2013 before taking over as CEO 10 years later. He said:

“First of all, I would like to thank the supervisory board for their trust. I am delighted to be continuing my work at FC Bayern with energy and passion. As the executive board, together with our staff, members and fans, we intend to do everything in our power to ensure FC Bayern remains the top club of which we are all so proud. That is what drives us – and we still have a lot more to achieve.”

Eberl, a former Bayern player who arrived from RB Leipzig to become board member for sport in March 2024, said:

“FC Bayern has been close to my heart ever since my time in the youth setup. So just like my fellow board members, I am committed to continuing along the path we have set out on and, in the interests of the entire FC Bayern family, to doing everything I can to ensure sporting success in the future. The supervisory board’s confidence in me is a valued sign of support, which I am truly delighted about.”
