FC Bayern Munich has officially announced that the contracts of sporting director Max Eberl and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen have been extended until 2029. This information was released on Tuesday evening following intense discussions about the future.

Originally, both contracts were set to expire in 2027. The decision to extend the contracts was made during a supervisory board meeting that discussed the future of both individuals.

Uli Hoeneß, the club's honorary president, had previously expressed his full confidence in Eberl. This indicated a positive atmosphere within the club that contributed to the contract extension.

With this decision, FC Bayern emphasizes its commitment to continuity in both sports and business leadership. Both Eberl and Dreesen play a significant role in the strategic direction of the club.

Besides Eberl and Dreesen, no other names or positions regarding future changes in club leadership were mentioned. The focus remains clearly on the two executives.

The contract extension comes at a time when FC Bayern may be looking to adjust its structure and strategy for future challenges. However, no further details regarding the discussions were published.
