Xabi Alonso has come out to say that he is not in the running to be the next Bayern Munich manager because he is not too experienced.
Alonso, who ended his playing career at Bayern after a spell between 2014 and 2017, is presently in charge of Real Sociedad B.
However, despite his links to the German giants, Xabi feels it is too early in his coaching career to be a contender for such a huge job.
His words, “I am where I want to be and right now where I want to be is in San Sebastian with Real Sociedad.
“I am a beginner in this life of being a coach and I have no goals beyond being here.
“I hope I can be a better coach, here at Real Sociedad, make a career every year that I want and I’m at ease.
“Whatever has to happen, will happen. The clubs I’ve been to sign the best coaches in the world and I’m still starting.”
On the EL Classico today, “It’s a hard-fought race, but it’s very open and there isn’t a clear favourite,”
“There is seldom a favourite when the teams face each other on the pitch and there isn’t here either. I see them fairly even, I don’t see either squad having anything superior to the other.
“Madrid have improved a lot. They had a difficult time but got through it, and right now they feel very powerful, like they can win anywhere.”
