Jan-Christian Dreesen has signed a contract extension as Bayern Munich CEO.
The 57-year-old's deal, which was due to expire in 2025, has been renewed until 2027, the Bundesliga giants announced on Monday evening.
“Jan-Christian Dreesen took over as CEO in a difficult time and led FC Bayern München AG back into calmer waters in a short space of time," said FC Bayern president Herbert Hainer of Dreesen, who took over as CEO in 2023 following the sacking of Oliver Kahn.
"We want to continue on this path together. We are certain that he is the right person to tackle the upcoming challenges together with his fellow board members Michael Diederich and Max Eberl and to achieve FC Bayern's ambitious goals,” he added.
Jan-Christian Dreesen thanked the supervisory board for the trust they have placed in him.
"FC Bayern has always been a matter close to my heart. Together with my colleagues on the executive board and all employees, I would like to make my contribution to ensuring that FC Bayern remains what it is, which is one of the absolute top clubs in Europe in terms of sport and business, with a great Bavarian tradition and the highest national and international standards.”
Dreesen has been working for FC Bayern since 2013, when he was appointed chief financial officer. One year later, he was promoted to deputy chairman of the executive board.
