Trouble for Liverpool? Bayern Munich considering move for coveted Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso amid Thomas Tuchel's struggles

Thomas Tuchel is under fire after seeing his side suffer three successive losses - including a shock defeat at the hands of Bochum on Sunday. With Bayern Munich currently trailing league leaders Bayer Leverkusen by eight points, officials at the Allianz Arena might consider parting ways with the German manager.<a href="https://theathletic.com/5285140/2024/02/19/xabi-alonso-thomas-tuchel-bayern-munich/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> reports that if the reigning Bundesliga champions decided to show the door to Tuchel, they would consider making a move for Alonso.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Alonso has performed exceptionally since taking charge of Die Werkself in October 2022. From initially struggling in the relegation zone, the Bundesliga side eventually finished sixth at the end of the 2022-23 season. In the ongoing campaign, the Spaniard has managed to keep his team unbeaten in the German top flight and is on course to lead them to a historic league title.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich star is also wanted by the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/xabi-alonso-liverpool-bayer-leverkusen-bayern-munich-bundesliga-premier-league-jurgen-klopp/blt6b7521454aa77eef" target="_blank">Reds who view him as a potential replacement for outgoing Jurgen Klopp</a>. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-xabi-alonso-blues-replace-manager-mauricio-pochettino-bayer-leverkusen/blte9f0c0702cf10fd7" target="_blank">Chelsea are also reportedly planning</a> to bring in the 42-year-old if they sack Mauricio Pochettino.

DID YOU KNOW?

Alonso's contract runs until 2026, while Tuchel will only have a year left on his existing deal once the current campaign comes to a close. While the former Spain international remains a man in demand, it is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/blow-for-liverpool-bayern-munich-bayer-leverkusen-chief-xabi-alonso-will-not-leave-summer/blt9731c46f4fa321b3" target="_blank">unlikely that his club would let him leave</a> midway through a promising season.
