Xabi Alonso has led Bayer Leverkusen on a surprise Bundesliga title charge this season, managing to remain unbeaten in all competitions so far with his rapid-fire attacking style.
Now, with Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel both announcing that they are leaving their managerial posts at the end of the 2023-24 season, where should Xabi Alonso go next?
Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor to figure out if the Spaniard should head to Liverpool or Bayern Munich.
