Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says Xabi Alonso recently turned down an offer to become an assistant coach at RB Leipizig while adding that he expects the former midfielder to take a job with Bayern Munich someday.
Alonso played for Bayern from 2014 to 2017, winning three Bundesliga titles with the club before retiring from the game.
The former Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Spain midfielder has since moved into coaching, and just completed his first season at the helm of Madrid’s U-13 team.
