Bayern Munich has bid farewell to the Thomas Tuchel era and is now setting their sights on finding a successor, with former Bayern star Xabi Alonso emerging as the top candidate. The 42-year-old, who is currently coaching Leverkusen to an undefeated season in the Bundesliga, has deep connections to Bayern and is reportedly the preferred choice of the club's bosses, particularly Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Despite Bayern's interest in him starting from the summer, Alonso is biding his time and focusing on leading Leverkusen as they compete on multiple fronts. While rumors swirl about his potential move to Bayern or even Liverpool FC, Alonso is said to be open to the idea of joining Bayern Munich, should the opportunity arise, amidst competition from the English club.

The decision regarding Alonso's coaching future raises questions of whether he will succeed Jürgen Klopp or Thomas Tuchel, or opt to stay on at Leverkusen for another season, as the club's bosses anticipate. With Bayern Munich and Tuchel parting ways at the end of the current season, the football world awaits the next chapter in Alonso's coaching journey.
