Bayern Munich have this evening confirmed the contract extension of CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen (57) by a further two years until 2027. The club’s supervisory board voted in favour of the decision at today’s regular meeting, as confirmed by the Bundesliga leaders.

“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. We want to continue on this path together,” said Herbert Hainer, chairman of the supervisory board.

“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.”

Dreesen further added: “I would like to thank the supervisory board for the trust they have placed in me and look forward to continuing to work with them. 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 joined the Rekordmeister in 2013 as chief financial officer before a promotion to deputy chairman of the executive board just one year later. The 57-year-old, who has a background in banking, was appointed as Bayern Munich CEO in May 2023, succeeding Oliver Kahn.
