Overview
- The club’s supervisory board voted on Tuesday to extend sport director Max Eberl’s and CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen’s contracts through 30 June 2029.
- The board credited recent on-field success and a highly praised summer transfer window, including the signings of Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari, for supporting the decision.
- Reporting after the meeting says Eberl will keep his formal title but face a recalibrated remit, with youth‑academy oversight moved away from him and the likely departure of chief scout Nils Schmadtke.
- Directors also discussed wider financial and governance matters at the Allianz Arena meeting, including the possible sale of the remaining roughly 5% Viessmann stake for about €250 million.
- The extensions close a tense chapter that began after Eberl’s March 2024 arrival and public doubts from Uli Hoeneß in May, and they leave open near‑term questions over power dynamics at the club and the future of other executives such as Christoph Freund.
