How far will the Xabi Alonso phenomenon go? We asked you the question this weekend, after another success in the Bundesliga, still 8 points ahead of Bayern Munich and the status of a team still undefeated this season. Because, almost unsurprisingly, the 42-year-old Spanish coach is now on the shelves of two of the biggest European clubs, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
His overall experience is however limited, since before Bayer Leverkusen, he was content to coach reserve teams. This does not frighten his courtiers, intrigued by Xabi Alonso’s ability to combine good play and results, tactical framework and freedom granted to players on the field. As we revealed to you several weeks ago, Liverpool quickly checked the name of their former midfielder, before being joined by Bayern Munich.
Liverpool, choice of the heart
We also revealed to you the first contacts between all these parties. And today, according to our information, Xabi Alonso’s heart is clearly leaning in favor of Liverpool. Bayern Munich is a clearly secondary choice in the mind of the Spaniard, also aware of the magnificent journey achieved with Bayer Leverkusen.
But Liverpool’s real interest is likely to turn everything upside down. Xabi Alonso would be delighted to take on the immense challenge of succeeding Jürgen Klopp. It must be said that Liverpool currently seems much more stable and better structured than Bayern Munich. For the moment, the Bavarian club is clearly behind Liverpool.
