FC Bayern Munich has announced the extension of CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen's contract until 2027, securing leadership stability amidst a period of notable achievements and challenges. Dreesen, who has been part of the Munich board since 2013, took over as CEO in 2023 following the departure of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic. His appointment came during a critical phase for the club, and he is credited with steering the organization into calmer waters.
Despite rumors of potential changes, the unanimous decision by Bayern's supervisory board, led by Herbert Hainer, underscores their confidence in Dreesen's leadership. The board's endorsement reflects the support from influential figures such as Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Dreesen's commitment to maintaining FC Bayern's status as a top European club is evident in his collaboration with sport director Max Eberl and finance chief Michael Diederich.
Under Dreesen's leadership, FC Bayern remains at the forefront of German football. The team is leading the Bundesliga, advancing in the DFB-Pokal, and eyeing progress in the Champions League. His focus on achieving both national and international success aligns with the club's tradition of excellence.
Dreesen's integration into the role has been seamless, and his decision to continue with Bayern instead of pursuing opportunities with the German Football League highlights his dedication to the club's long-term goals. With his contract extension, FC Bayern ensures a stable and promising future, balancing its rich heritage with contemporary ambitions.
