FC Bayern Munich’s supervisory board has confirmed that Max Eberl, the club’s board member for sport, will remain in his role through June 30, 2029. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen received the same treatment, with both contracts previously set to expire in the summer of 2027.
The announcement on August 25 caps a remarkable turnaround in internal confidence for Eberl, who just months ago was far from a certainty to stay at the Säbener Straße.
From 60% to done deal
Earlier in 2026, honorary president Uli Hoeneß publicly pegged the likelihood of Eberl getting a new deal at roughly 60%. By late July 2026, however, Hoeneß had revised that figure to 100%. What changed was simple: results. A successful transfer window paired with strong on-pitch performances gave the leadership team the credibility it needed.
Bayern’s supervisory board chairman Herbert Hainer framed the extensions as essential to the club’s long-term trajectory, emphasizing the value of continuity and stability.
