Rummenigge Confirms He Abstained on Max Eberl Extension

His abstention, tied to his complaint about a leaked presidial committee recommendation, exposes rifts in Bayern supervisory board procedures.

Overview

  • Rummenigge confirmed on Friday that he did not vote yes and instead abstained in the supervisory board decision to extend Max Eberl's contract.
  • The supervisory board approved two‑year extensions for sport director Max Eberl and CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen that run until mid‑2029, with no recorded no votes.
  • Rummenigge said he was irritated that a presidial committee recommendation appeared to have been leaked to the press and that the leak gave the impression the outcome was predecided.
  • Eberl has publicly downplayed the dispute, said he does not know who voted how, and pledged to continue his work through 2029 despite the internal disagreement.
  • The episode highlights a governance fault line at Bayern over committee influence, internal transparency and decision‑making and could increase scrutiny of future transfer and squad decisions.
