Overview
- The supervisory board decided in August to extend sporting director Max Eberl and CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen for two years, keeping both in place through 2029.
- President Herbert Hainer publicly rejected press reports that the renewal was a prolonged negotiation and said the board always planned to make the decision in August.
- Club patron Uli Hoeneß said Eberl had opened up to club leadership over the past six months and that better communication helped restore trust in his role.
- Bayern say the early completion of summer business validated the choice, with reporting naming Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari as early July signings and noting roughly €70 million in sales kept net spending low.
- The board framed the extensions as a bid for leadership continuity under tighter financial controls, while making clear Eberl will remain under close scrutiny as transfer outcomes are monitored.
