” I’m staying. » Coveted by Bayern Munich and Liverpool, Xabi Alonso (42) announced this Friday that he will remain the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, undefeated leader of the Bundesliga, next season.
“There have been a lot of things regarding my future in recent weeks,” he said at a press conference. We had a lot of matches, a lot of goals and we had to be focused. During the break, I had time to think. I made my decision last week, I had a good discussion with my managers. I told them that I would continue to be the coach of this team next season. I tried to make the right, most natural decision. »
Bayern and Liverpool will have to find another avenue
As early as Thursday, Uli Hoeness, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, spilled the beans, declaring that “it will be difficult, if not probably impossible, to bring him in this year”. “Let’s say that if he had been two or three years away from success (achieved with Bayer Leverkusen), it would probably have been easier to bring him in,” he also said on Bavarian TV.
Since his arrival in October 2022, Xabi Alonso has allowed Bayer Leverkusen to change dimension. The club is still undefeated this season in all competitions and is on track to win the first German championship title in its history. Bayer is ten points ahead of Bayern ten days before the end of the Bundesliga.
Bayern and Liverpool will therefore have to start on another track to find the successors of Thomas Tuchel and Jürgen Klopp.
