  "summary": "Bayern Munich has extended the contracts of board member for sport Max Eberl and chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen through June 2029. The Bavarian powerhouse announced the extensions after its supervisory board meeting, reiterating its faith in Eberl and Dreesen to continue in their roles. Eberl, who took over Bayern's transfer dealings in February 2024, faced a challenging start but eventually settled on Vincent Kompany, a decision that has led to back-to-back Bundesliga titles and a league and cup double last season. Dreesen, appointed as CEO in May 2023, had previously been vice chairman of the supervisory board since 2014.",
