Thomas Tuchel is set to depart from Bayern Munich after the current season. Xabi Alonso, currently leading Bayer Leverkusen impressively, is expected to fill his position. Bayern Munich is gearing up for another coaching transition. Tuchel will conclude his tenure with Germany’s premier club before moving on, paving the way for a new leader. Xabi Alonso, a former Bayern Munich player, is the anticipated successor.
The 42-year-old Spanish coach has been exceptional at Bayer Leverkusen, fostering a dynamic and attacking style of play, aligning perfectly with Bayern’s needs. Recognized as an ideal fit by Bayern’s management, Alonso’s exemplary performance at Leverkusen has not gone unnoticed. Previously considered for Real Madrid to replace Carlo Ancelotti, Alonso was ultimately overlooked as Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, opted to retain Ancelotti.
This decision has seemingly cleared Alonso’s path to Bayern. He is expected to succeed Thomas Tuchel, who took charge in March last year, following Julian Nagelsmann. As Alonso’s coaching reputation grows, mirroring his illustrious playing career, anticipation builds around his potential role at Germany’s top club.
