Bayern Munich poach top executive from Bundesliga rival
"Bayern Munich are not going to make several changes to their board in the coming months. Herbert Hainer looks set for a third term as the President, while Jan-Christian Dreesen will continue as the CEO. The only significant change set to come into effect from the start of 2026 is in the position of the board for marketing and sales. Michael Diederich has been serving in this role at Bayern, but he has decided to step down on September 30 for a new challenge."
"The defending Bundesliga champions have reached an agreement with VfB Stuttgart for Rouven Kasper. The chief marketing and sales officer at Stuttgart is set to join Bayern on January 1, 2026. Bayern released a statement on Monday to confirm an agreement to release Kasper. It remains to be seen what exact compensation Bayern have paid for Kasper. This will be Kasper's second stint at Bayern."
Bayern Munich will keep most board positions, with Herbert Hainer likely to secure a third presidential term and Jan-Christian Dreesen remaining CEO. Michael Diederich will step down as the board member for marketing and sales on September 30. Bayern have reached an agreement with VfB Stuttgart to sign Rouven Kasper as chief marketing and sales officer effective January 1, 2026, with compensation undisclosed. Kasper previously worked at Bayern from 2016 to 2021 overseeing the Asian market, which should ease his transition. Max Eberl looks set to remain on the board of sport after receiving public backing despite summer transfer pressure.
