Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed he did not vote for Max Eberl’s contract extension at the most recent supervisory board meeting, deciding to abstain.

“I thought long and hard about whether I should vote ‘No’ on the contract extension with Max,” he said, speaking to Abendzeitung.

“It was only during the meeting that I decided to abstain. I stand by that decision. For me it was important to make my decision independently.”

“I did not want to allow myself to be prejudiced by a recommendation made beforehand,” the supervisory board member added.

Without going into detail, Rummenigge said there were several things he did not like in the lead-up to the vote. He told the board of his concerns at the time, and the decision was ultimately taken to extend Eberl’s stay.
