Bayern Munich Extends CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen's Contract

Bayern Munich has extended CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen's contract until June 2027, reinforcing the club's commitment to stable leadership amid ongoing challenges. The unanimous decision by the supervisory board reflects Dreesen's successful navigation of difficult periods since he took over in May 2023, following the departures of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić. Club president Herbert Hainer praised Dreesen's ability to restore calm within the organization and expressed confidence in his leadership alongside board members Michael Diederich and Max Eberl. Dreesen's tenure has so far seen a promising season start, with Bayern leading the Bundesliga under new coach Vincent Kompany. Despite a title-less season last year, Dreesen's decisive negotiations brought star player Harry Kane to the club, enhancing its competitive stature. Bayern's annual general meeting is scheduled for December 8, where record revenues are expected to be announced.
