Xabi Alonso is in his first season in senior management and his last win has proved to be the final match Julian Nagelsmann oversaw at Bayern Munich. Alonso was appointed at Bayer Leverkusen back in October when the Bundesliga side were languishing in 17th place, and more than five months later they are eighth in the table. The 41-year-old has overseen 24 matches, winning 13, drawing four and losing seven since taking charge, but it was his latest victory that has had a significant knock-on effect. On the final matchday before the March international break, Alonso’s Leverkusen notched a 2-1 win over Bayern thanks to two second-half goals, extending their unbeaten streak to seven matches. But while Alonso is being lauded in Germany for the steps taken in his first senior role, Nagelsmann has seen his tenure with Bayern come to an end less than two years into his five-year contract. His first match will pit him against Dortmund, who he previously managed for two years. This also means a change in manager for who was substituted at the break during Nagelsmann’s last game in charge, with arising over the winger.
