The renowned online sports publication, The Athletic, has established a reputation for delivering news with a solid basis, steering clear of disseminating hoaxes and unfounded rumors. On Monday, this Anglo-American platform made a striking report, suggesting that FC Bayern was contemplating appointing Xabi Alonso as the successor to Thomas Tuchel, provided he concludes his tenure in the summer. This news certainly startled the higher-ups at Leverkusen. The credibility of the source, a highly respected media outlet, has led many to consider the probability of the news being true. If Bayern does indeed decide to directly approach the coach of a competitor who is poised to usurp them from their long-held champions’ throne, it would undoubtedly be a diplomatically sensitive move. Additionally, from the perspective of sportsmanship and fair play, such an action would be, at the very least, questionable.
