A strategic decision
Xabi Alonso’s decision to sign for Bayern Munich was motivated by several factors. Firstly, Alonso considers it the logical step after succeeding as a coach at Bayer Leverkusen.

With these signings, Alonso hopes to be able to compete to win the league and the Champions League next season.
Reactions and expectations
The news of the hiring of Xabi Alonso as coach of Bayern Munich has generated various reactions. Many fans are excited to see their idol take over the reins of the club.
