At FC Bayern there are changes in the management floor. CFO Jan-Christian Dreesen will surprisingly leave the club next summer. Dreesen’s successor is Michael Diederich, who has been on the Supervisory Board until now.
As FC Bayern announced on Thursday morning, Jan-Christian Dreesen will not extend his contract, which expires in summer 2023, and will leave the club at his own request. The 55-year-old has been Chief Financial Officer since February 2013 and Deputy CEO since February 2014. Dreesen has also been a member of the DFL Executive Committee since 2019.
Bayern President Herbert Hainer thanked the long-time official for his great services and recalled the numerous successes that fell during Dreesen’s tenure:
“On behalf of the entire FC Bayern, I would like to thank Jan-Christian Dreesen very much for his outstanding commitment and his great achievements for FC Bayern. In his almost ten years as CFO and Deputy CEO, FC Bayern has been German champion ten times and won the legendary treble of the Champions League, championship and DFB Cup twice, among other things. FC Bayern has made profits year after year, even in times of the corona pandemic, which is also due to Jan-Christian Dreesen in particular.”
Successor already found
Dreesen’s successor, both as CFO and Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board, will be Dr. Michael Diederich. Diederich, who has been a member of the Supervisory Board since 2018 and is currently Spokesman of the Management Board of Unicredit Bank AG, is to work together with Dreesen on the transfer of business from April 1, 2023.
“I’ve been with the club for a long time, first as a fan and for four years as a member of the supervisory board. That’s why I’m particularly happy that I’ll be a member of the board in the future,” said Oliver Kahn’s new deputy in the official press release .
Herbert Hainer sees Diederich as the ideal Dreesen successor: “Michael Diederich has demonstrated his enormous qualities not least as spokesman for the Management Board of Unicredit Bank AG. He is an outstanding financial expert with a valuable network and distinctive leadership qualities. As a member of our Supervisory Board you know We also share his great passion for FC Bayern. We are convinced that Michael Diederich will make an important contribution to a successful future for FC Bayern Munich.”
