But I have a lot of trust, we have a very good relationship. I\u2019m very relaxed, like [sporting director] Simon Rolfes. We have been planning the squad for next season for a long time \u2013 with Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a list of coaches that is always updated, we have to be prepared in case things turn out differently than we think. But I don\u2019t think it will happen like that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a stroke of luck that we have him. That\u2019s why I hope he stays with us for a long time because he\u2019s really a top coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/01hsca9tk36jp8h2g46d.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Xabi Alonso\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Alonso\u2019s future remains unclear \/ Christof Koepsel\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Bayern\u00a0sporting director Max Eberl later offered an update on his side\u2019s search for a new manager, insisting they are yet to speak with Alonso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t spoken with any coach and haven\u2019t received any approval or rejection,\u201d Eberl said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Alonso] played for FC Bayern.

He\u2019s under contract at Bayer Leverkusen, can win the domestic double there and the Europa League as well. But to return to the question: there are coaches who fit with FC Bayern, yes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow naive would I be to mention a desired candidate now and then we end up not getting him? Maybe in the end our best decision would be to hire a coach who hasn\u2019t been linked.
