Bayern Munich will remain a strong challenger to Leverkusen next season even though they do not have an experienced coach because in terms of experience Bayern Munich is a strong team with complete players in all positions. Leverkusen has the opportunity to retain the Bundesliga title as long as Xabi Alonso can maintain the quality of his players and not let the opportunity to play in the Champions League be an excuse for not playing consistently in the Bundesliga.
It's not easy to defend the title with the minimum number of players and last season's moments are difficult to repeat. Bayern Munich and Dortmund have new coaches so they have to be able to adapt beforehand so this is the best step for Leverkusen to maintain their title and play more solidly.
Yes, right. Even though Bayern Munich has a new coach and has no experience coaching a big team, Bayern Munich will still be a serious challenge for Leverkusen. Bayern Munich has a strong history of winning the Bundesliga trophy, they have even dominated in the last decade, so I think Vincent Kompany will adapt more easily, especially since the squad that Tuchel left behind also has quality.
Leverkusen will still be the most favorite team, especially since the squad has not undergone any changes, they may even bring in new players and Xabi will remain at Leverkusen. However, it is impossible to repeat the success of winning the Bundesliga trophy without defeat next season. Because of course they will also play in the UCL league next season which is very competitive, especially with the new format of course the schedule will also be even busier which will have an impact on the players' fitness.
We have no doubt that Xabi Alonso is an experienced coach. But I would say if Leverkusen want to do well next season Leverkusen should definitely strengthen their squad. If the squad is not strengthened, this team will not be able to play consistently well in the Champions League and Bundesliga. We saw the Napoli team in the 2022-23 season Napoli won the championship. But in the last season, the team slipped to the tenth place in the table. We don't want to see the same situation with Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich failed to dominate the Bundesliga last season. Munich will try their best to dominate the Bundesliga next season. So Leverkusen definitely need to strengthen their squad. If not, the Leverkusen team will fall behind in the competition.
