Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has extended his contract until 2027 after unanimous agreement from the club's board.

Dreesen stepped into the role in May 2023, having previously joined Bayern as chief financial officer in 2013.

The former banker then went on to hold the position of deputy chairman of the executive board for nine years before replacing former Germany and Bayern goalkeeper Oliver Kahn as CEO last year.

During his tenure so far, Bayern have brought Harry Kane to the Allianz Arena and swapped Thomas Tuchel for Vincent Kompany as head coach. They also saw their 11-year grip on the Bundesliga title ended by Bayer Leverkusen.

After extending his contract by a further two years, Dreesen will now continue in the role until at least 2027.

“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," Dreesen told the club's website. 

"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.”

Herbert Hainer, chairman of the supervisory board, added: “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. 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."
