"Got a few tasks ahead": Bayern chief hints at key decisions to come | OneFootball

After extending the contract with Vincent Kompany, FC Bayern looks confidently toward the coming months. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen emphasized that despite the team’s sporting success, the record champions still have several key tasks ahead—both in terms of personnel and structure.

“We still have a few tasks ahead of us this year—Max, Christoph, but also myself,” Dreesen explained, referring to the numerous contracts expiring in the summer of 2026. The Bayern CEO hinted that work is already underway behind the scenes on several topics that will shape the club in the long term.

A total of seven contracts are set to expire at the end of the season, including those of FCB captain Manuel Neuer and key player Dayot Upamecano. Dreesen stressed that the main goal now is to maintain the current stability: “We’re approaching this calmly and with a certain composure—it’s also easier to do so when you’re speaking after a victory,” the 58-year-old emphasized.

Hectic activity is not an issue for Dreesen—on the contrary: he sees the current calm at Säbener Straße as a crucial factor for success. After turbulent months last season, Bayern’s leadership under Eberl, Freund, and Kompany has once again developed into a harmonious trio.

Setting the Course for the Future

With Vincent Kompany’s contract extension until 2029, FC Bayern has sent a clear signal of continuity. But as Dreesen hinted, the next decisions are already on the horizon. Whether it’s about contract talks with key players, personnel planning for the coming season, or structural developments within the club—Bayern wants to proceed strategically.

“We definitely still have a few challenges ahead of us,” Dreesen admitted. “But we’re approaching things thoughtfully.”

There is currently more unity at Säbener Straße than there has been for a long time. The sporting climate under Kompany is considered excellent, and communication between the board, coach, and team is close and based on trust.
