In a surprising turn of events in the world of football, FC Bayern Munich have targeted Xabi Alonso as a possible successor to Thomas Tuchel on the Allianz bench. The German giant's directors have been impressed by Alonso's work at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen, where he has led the team to an outstanding unbeaten streak and is the only one in the five major leagues to reach 2024 without losing a single game.
The attractive playing style proposed by Xabi Alonso has caught the attention of several clubs, but Bayern Munich appears to be in a position to sign him once Tuchel's term ends. Alonso's connection to the club, where he played for three years, is an additional compelling factor. The former Spanish footballer welcomes the opportunity to continue his career in the Bundesliga and, according to RELEVO, wants to manage the three big clubs where he shone as a player: Bayern, Madrid and Liverpool.
Xabi Alonso, the candidate to replace Tuchel
The arrival of Alonso could depend on the situation of Tuchel, who has lost the trust of some board members due to certain setbacks, such as the defeat against Saarbrücken in the cup. Although Tuchel has the opportunity to redirect the situation, Bayern have already marked Alonso as a fundamental part of their future roadmap.
The timing of this possible change is unclear, but June could be the key month for solving this intriguing conspiracy. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso wants to successfully bid farewell to Bayer Leverkusen and potentially wrest the league away from the team that could be his next target.
