Bizarre scene after Bayern’s win against Leipzig (2-1) on Saturday evening. In the mixed zone, captain Manuel Neuer suddenly breaks off a TV interview.
What happened?
After the game, Manuel Neuer was asked by a journalist about Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, who is considered Bayern’s dream solution to succeed Thomas Tuchel.
“Last question, you played with him. Would Xabi Alonso be a coach for FC Bayern?” asks the journalist.

Suddenly Neuer shines through the wind. Don’t really know how to answer that. Neuer looks towards the press spokesman, who is standing behind the journalist, for help. Then Neuer answers strangely, distracting from the question: “How are you?” Congratulations on the win.” At the end he high-fives the journalist.
BILD football boss and Bayern insider Christian Falk, who was also in the mixed zone, explains on the BILD SPORT program on WELT TV: “Of course it’s a sensitive question, but you have to be allowed to ask it. They ended up playing together. Neuer was very perplexed, a bit offended, as if they were trying to lead him on the wrong path. The press spokesman immediately dismissed it and intervened. Manuel Neuer left us a bit angry afterwards.”

BILD expert Alfred Draxler: “This is simply a description of the status of FC Bayern 2024. Chaos and incomprehensible. Bayern have to stop talking and chatting and start playing football again.”
FC Bayern announced Thomas Tuchel’s departure at the end of the season during the week. The coach is leaving the club after just 15 months. After the game, Neuer said in an interview with “Sky” about the Tuchel case: “It casts a bad image on all of us, not being able to continue on the path from the summer with such a top coach.”
