The rumor coming out of England that Manchester City management is considering offering the team bench to Vincent Kompany for next season continues to cause discussion. Pep Guardiola&#8217s cycle seems to be coming to a close and City ownership is looking around to identify the right heir. Vincent Kompany is highly regarded by English managers but at the moment it is rather unrealistic to imagine that he is willing to leave the Bayern Munich bench.

His words triggered several reactions among fans but the champion promptly apologized
As Christoph Freund recounted, the young man immediately went to the management offices to explain his version

The Belgian is fine in Germany, the team has great confidence in him and the results so far are satisfactory. In addition to Kompany, Xabi Alonso will also be approached by the Manchester City management, according to English media. The Spanish coach is out of work after his turbulent exoneration from Real Madrid but wants to immediately return to the bench of a top club to prove his worth. In addition to Manchester City, Liverpool is also being talked about a lot for Xabi Alonso.

Last summer the champion club of England spent a lot to reinforce an already solid team but so far the results obtained are insufficient and the confidence in Arne Slot is not much anymore. A lot of Liverpool fans would be very happy to see Xabi Alonso on the Reds bench: the Spaniard has left an indelible memory in the fans thanks to his achievements as a player between 2004 and 2009.

In place of Xabi Alonso, Florentino Perez has decided to entrust Real Madrid’s bench to Alvaro Arbeloa but so far things are not going very well. Results are up and down and even in the locker room it seems there are some less than idyllic situations.

Recently the young coach blurted out in a press conference: “Commitment, attitude and mentality: that’s what I want to see. Quality alone is not enough here. I am not Gandalf the White” he said exasperatedly, quoting the Lord of the Rings character.
