Overview
- The FC Bayern supervisory board voted to renew sporting director Max Eberl’s contract and CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen’s contract early, extending both deals to mid‑2029.
- Eberl said the extension was not a gift but the result of his work and stressed that Bayern must be learned from the inside to succeed, a comment that followed earlier public doubts from club elder Uli Hoeneß and Hoeneß’s later apology.
- The board pointed to this summer’s transfer business as a key factor in its decision, including reported €50 million signings Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari.
- Eberl told reporters that further incoming signings are '99 percent' unlikely before the September 1 transfer deadline while a small number of departures remain possible, with Sacha Boey and Arijon Ibrahimovic singled out as likely candidates to move on.
- The early renewals lock in executive continuity at Bayern as the club finalizes its squad for the season and shift scrutiny from recruitment questions to on‑field performance under the current leadership.
