Xabi Alonso Unlikely to Join Bayern Munich as New Coach: Uli Hoeness Admits Engagement is ‘Probably Impossible’

The arrival of Spanish football coach Xabi Alonso to Bayern Munich is very unlikely. The honorary president of the Bavarian club, Uli Hoeness, admitted on Thursday that the engagement of the current Bayer Leverkusen helmsman is probably impossible.

The reigning German champions are looking for a replacement for Thomas Tuchel, who will leave at the end of the current season. Hoeness confirmed that Bayern is interested in the coach. “We’ll see if we can do it this year. It will be difficult, probably impossible. Considering the current success, he is more inclined to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. If he does well for another two or three years, it will probably be easier to get him out of there.” AFP quoted the president.

Alonso was linked with a transfer to several clubs, where he also worked as a player. In addition to Bayern, it was also Liverpool or Real Madrid. He is close to a historic success with Leverkusen. The team is at the top of the Bundesliga with a 10-point lead just ahead of Bayern.

“Pharmacists” are currently the only team from the five leading competitions that has not yet lost in the domestic league this season. With eight games remaining in the season, Leverkusen are aiming for their first title and first trophy since 1993. They are also in the semi-finals of the German Cup and the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
