Score this one for the little guy. OK, maybe not the little guy exactly, considering Bayer Leverkusen are owned by Bayer -- a pharmaceutical behemoth with 100,000 employees worldwide and $55 billion of revenue in 2023 -- but you get what I mean.

Xabi Alonso had a more-than-realistic chance of filling the managerial vacancy at Bayern Munich (league titles: 33, Champions League titles: 6, domestic cups: 20) or Liverpool (league titles: 19, Champions League titles: 6, domestic cups: 18) this summer.
