If Xabi Alonso says no, the coach that Klopp would recommend to sign

Following the announcement of Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season, Bayern Munich have identified Xabi Alonso as their top priority to take the bench next season. The news, coming from German sources, indicates that the Bavarian club are determined to secure the services of the former Spanish player as their new coach.

This decision could have repercussions for other clubs, especially Liverpool, who have also shown an interest in Alonso. With Bayern prioritising the Spaniard, the English side could be forced to look for alternatives. Rumour has it that former Germany coach Hansi Flick could be considered as a secondary option for the Anfield bench.

Germany were eliminated in the group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. A resounding failure that is being repeated because the same thing happened at Russia 2018, where they also went out in the first round. All the spotlight has been on Hansi Flick, who has not improved on Joachim Löw's numbers in his first World Cup as Germany coach and doubts about his continuity have begun to emerge. And he himself has left his future up in the air.

Xabi Alonso's coaching future is in the spotlight, with a possible move to Bayern Munich representing an exciting new chapter in his managerial career. Meanwhile, Liverpool and other clubs are keeping an eye on movements in the coaching market, ready to adjust their plans in line with decisions made by the Bavarian club. Jurgen Klopp has extensive knowledge of Hansi's work and would be encouraged to recommend him as a replacement.
