The contract extension with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic at FC Bayern has already been indicated in recent weeks. According to current media reports, this is now on the home stretch. Accordingly, the Bayern bosses have given their green light.
As the “BILD” reports, the Munich supervisory board dealt with the future of Hasan Salihamidzic on Monday evening. Accordingly, the Presidential Committee of Bavaria, at the suggestion of Supervisory Board Chairman Herbert Hainer, approved a new contract until the summer of 2026.
Salihamidzic is rewarded for a strong transfer summer
Hainer recently publicly emphasized that Bayern would like to extend the expiring contract with the 45-year-old: “I’m very confident about that! I am absolutely satisfied with his work. It’s also a lot of fun for Hasan,” he explained to “Sky”.
The former Bayern professional became sports director for the German record champions in 2017. In the summer of 2020, he was promoted to sports director.
Despite numerous sporting successes, Salihamidzic has repeatedly been criticized for his work in recent years, especially for his transfers. Looking at the recent celebrity purchases of Sadio Mané (Liverpool FC), Noussair Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch (both Ajax Amsterdam), Matthijs de Ligt (Juventus Turin) as well as the numerous player sales that brought Bayern more than 100 million euros this summer , the Bosnian has recently received a lot of recognition.
