Xabi Alonso has been linked with taking over as manager of former clubs Liverpool and Bayern Munich - the latter have now responded
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl says that the club have not made an approach for Liverpool-linked Xabi Alonso or any other manager to take over from Thomas Tuchel.
The Spaniard and his coaching staff could be the final piece in the puzzle if Fenway Sports Group organise the return of Michael Edwards and arrival of Richard Hughes behind the scenes, however Bayern have designs on scuppering that idea to advance their own project beyond the end of Tuchel's reign this summer.
However as this battle in the managerial market intensifies, Bayern are intent on keeping their cards close to their chest. "Of course we want the new coach to be chosen as quickly as possible, but it has to be right, there won’t be a quick fix," he responded. "It's about working through the priorities as quickly as possible, but at the same time – and I never tire of saying this – we also have another season to finish with Thomas."
