Bayern Munich 'consider interim head coach to WAIT for Xabi Alonso'

Bayern Munich could be set to appoint an interim manager to replace outgoing head coach Thomas Tuchel in a bid to wait out Xabi Alonso's spell at Bayer Leverkusen, according to reports in Germany. The former Bayern Munich midfielder has enjoyed a prodigious stint in charge of the Bundesliga side, and in just his second season at the helm, helped them to secure their first-ever league title. In an unprecedented unbeaten season across all competitions, Leverkusen also remain in contention for German Cup and Europa League honours.
