Crisis at Bayern Munich: Pursuit of Xabi Alonso as Coach amidst three consecutive defeats

In the midst of a crisis marked by three consecutive defeats in their recent outings across all competitions, Bayern Munich is reportedly gearing up for a coaching staff change by the end of the season. With the departure of Thomas Tuchel looming, the Bavarians have identified Xabi Alonso as their top priority for the managerial position. Bayern is keen on securing the services of the former player.

Although there were initial mentions of Hansi Flick making a return to the club, he appears uninterested in another stint on the sidelines in Munich.

Consequently, Bayern has explored alternative options for their potential new coach.

 According to the reliable Florian Plettenberg, Xabi Alonso is the absolute priority for Bayern Munich this summer should Thomas Tuchel leave.

Despite also being linked to Liverpool as a potential successor to Jürgen Klopp, the Spaniard is evidently highly sought after.

 However, Xabi Alonso remains fully focused on Bayer Leverkusen at the moment and will only discuss his future at the end of the season.

The challenging period on the field for Bayern Munich, marked by three successive defeats, has shifted their accustomed dominance in the Bundesliga for the past 12 years.

The club currently finds itself trailing by 8 points behind the impressive leader, Bayer Leverkusen.

With an early exit from the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) already on their record, Bayern faces an uphill battle in the UEFA Champions League after losing the first leg of their round of 16 clash against Lazio Rome.

The prospect of a trophyless season seems to be looming for Bayern, adding urgency to their need for a coaching change to reverse the unfavorable trend.
