Bayern Munich will rival Liverpool in pushing to appoint Xabi Alonso as their manager after the Bundesliga champions agreed to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. Bayern’s announcement on Tuchel’s future follows a dismal series of results.
The club will hold discussions over Alonso, whose transformation of Bayer Leverkusen has made him a target for Liverpool, where a vacancy is also pending this summer with Jürgen Klopp stepping down. There is no release clause in Alonso’s contract but he will be allowed to leave if he decides to pursue a new challenge. Alonso played for Liverpool and Bayern, finishing his career in Germany in 2017.
