3 reasons why Xabi Alonso should join Liverpool and not Bayern Munich


After spending just eighteen months at Bayern Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an excellent manager who can assemble a top-tier squad on a shoestring. Leverkusen are close to becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to win the title without losing a single match. 

To put it plainly, Alonso had to develop a world class team capable of preventing Bayern Munich from setting a record with 13 straight league titles. Disrupting the balance has alerted Europe's biggest clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are now want him. 

With Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel expected to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, Xabi Alonso have now become the ideal manager to replace one of them. 

Alonso will likely be leaving Bayern Munich and he carefully analyzed both clubs and decide for himself which of the two can really give the time, resources, club and fan support. 

Here are the 3 reasons why he should choose Liverpool: 

Liverpool will give him 3-4 years to adapt to the English game- It will take some time for Xabi Alonso to get used to the fast-paced, English style of play. The intensity and speed of the game truly saps the manager's energy, and Alonso, like Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, will require some time to adjust.

Unlike Bayern Munich, who will not accept being the underdog against any Bundesliga side, Liverpool will give him three to four years to completely revamp the current squad.


Legendary status will be cemented at Liverpool- Xabi Alonso will be immortalized as one of the greatest player and manager the club has ever seen. He will be rated as high as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish and Jurgen Klopp once he succeeds in winning the Premier League and Champions League. 

But at Bayern Munich, he will just be one of the many coaches they've had in the past.  

The Premier League is far superior to the Bundesliga- Bayern Leverkusen might have restored a bit of sanity in the German league by closing in on winning the Bundesliga title after Bayern Munich's 12-year dominance but everyone knows it's a fluke that will likely be corrected next season once Xabi Alonso is gone. 

Rather than move to easily predictable league, Xabi Alonso should seriously consider joining Liverpool where he will be competing against two of the finest Spanish managers in Pep Guardiola (Manchester City) and Mikel Arteta (Arsenal).

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

Fighting corruption: Why Nigeria must introduce death sentence for all corrupt office holders?

According to Section 33 of the Nigerian constitution, capital crimes include those relating to terrorism, third-degree murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, incest, helping someone who is legally incapable of consenting to suicide, perjury, and military mutiny. The following crimes are eligible for the death penalty, yet none of them address the main problem impeding Nigeria's advancement and development. The country possesses both human and material resources to rival any nation in the world but yet, the nation swallows in abject poverty; malnutrition, illiteracy, delipidated or broken-down infrastructure, communal wars, gang related violence, banditry, terrorism, and worst of all, spread of infectious disease in both rural an urban area.  Like many other countries, Cameroon has expressed its concerns about the grave extent of bribery and corruption in all spheres of the national economy and the damage it is bringing to the future of its ci...
