Is Tuchel’s time at Bayern coming to an end? Xabi Alonso has impressed the management so much that he could replace him on the Munich bench

According to Relevo, Bayern Munich want to take advantage of the fact that Real Madrid have extended Carlo Ancelotti’s contract and would like to bring Xabi Alonso to the bench. However, the crucial factor is the Spanish coach’s special clause in which he should have clubs he can go to coach.

Alonso is new to the coaching role, but his style of play and the results that Leverkusen’s players have produced under him have not escaped the attention of the big clubs. There has been speculation that the former outstanding midfielder would replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid, but he recently extended his contract.

Big clubs are circling around Xabi Alonso

According to Relevo, Bayern Munich is another interested party in his coaching services. They would like to bring him into the management of their club to replace the current coach Thomas Tuchel.

Alonso has been putting in amazing performances with Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga and Europa League. He has not lost a point in the cups and dominated the group with full points. In the German league, he holds first place just ahead of Bayern, with a four-point lead. His results so far are truly admirable.

The style of play of Leverkusen under Alonso has not escaped anyone and the results speak for themselves. Moreover, of all the five elite European leagues, Bayer is the only team that enters 2024 as an undefeated side. And of the 25 games it has played, it has won 22 and drawn three, something unprecedented even for the top teams in top form.

Alonso himself has never made any public secret of the fact that he would like to lead the team he himself has played for in the past. One of his coaching dreams is to lead one of the three big clubs where he shone as a footballer: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Liverpool. As he himself admitted, he has personal emotional ties to them.

Xabi Alonso – Clause

However, Alonso is said to have a special clause in his contract about where he can train in the future. Spanish coach. The clause allows him to leave Leverkusen if the former clubs he played for are interested in him.

So he has the option of possibly going to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. In the Spanish capital, the situation is resolved by the extension of Carlo Ancelotti’s contract.

At the Reds, there is also great satisfaction with Jurgen Klopp. But in Munich the situation is different and the club is interested in engaging Alonso, who signed a contract extension with Leverkusen in April 2023 that expires in 2026.

Thomas Tuchel

Tuchel took over Bayern Munich after the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann on March 24, 2023. There was no satisfaction with his results from the edge of the season and he reportedly lost the trust of some board members and especially the fans.

Under his leadership there were results that were hard for the club and others to bear, such as the defeat to Saarbrücken, a team from the third German league in the cup. Even a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Frankfurt did not please, putting them under pressure.

Thomas Tuchel still has his destiny in his hands. He can turn the situation around, but it won’t be easy. They need to finish the year with great results. By winning the Bundesliga title, where they will be able to directly challenge Leverkusen for the top spot.

A possible success in the Champions League, where Bayern is an aspirant to win the overall championship, will definitely play a big role. That could be helped by England captain Harry Kane, Tuchel’s dream signing who has really come into his own.
