Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso have had very different careers.
Global transfer market site TransferMarket compared the records of Tuchel and Alonso on its official social media accounts on April 21 (KST).
Tuchel took over at Munich in April last year. At the time, the Bavarians parted ways with Julian Nagelsmann in favor of Tuchel, a move that turned into a handshake. Last season, Munich could have won the Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, and DFB Pokal, but they only won the Bundesliga. In both the UEFA Champions League and DFB Pokal, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
This season, Tuchel's Munich hasn't been the same. They currently sit second in the Bundesliga with 16 wins, two draws, and four losses (50 points). The mood hasn't been good lately either. The Bavarians have lost three straight official matches. They lost to Leverkusen and Bochum in the Bundesliga and lost 0-1 to Lazio in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Unlike Munich, Leverkusen are on the rise thanks to Alonso's leadership. Alonso took over at Leverkusen in October 2022. He led the club's resurgence from the relegation zone last season. Leverkusen finished the 토토사이트 season in sixth place in the league and reached the last four of the UEFA Europa League.
This season, Leverkusen has been one of the strongest teams in Germany. Leverkusen leads the league with 18 wins, four draws, and 58 points. Leverkusen is unbeaten in 32 official matches, including cup competitions. This equals the German record for the longest unbeaten streak, set by Hans-Ji Flick's Munich.
According to Transfermarkt, Tuchel has 28 wins, five draws, and 11 losses in 44 games in Munich. Tuchel has already surpassed his predecessor Nagelsmann's record of 10 losses. His points per game is 2.02. Unlike Tuchel, Alonso has 45 wins, 15 draws and 10 losses in 69 games at Leverkusen, with 2.16 points per game. He's better than Tuchel in every way.
Tuchel has announced that he will step down as Munich manager at the end of this season. Coincidentally, one of the favorites to succeed Tuchel is Alonso. In addition to Munich, Alonso is also on the radar of Liverpool, who are looking for a successor to Jürgen Klopp.
