Kahns SMS to Leverkusens Carro: Championship and DFB Cup celebrated!

On October 5, 2022, Bayer 04 Leverkusen confirmed the obligation of Xabi Alonso as a trainer-a step that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the former CEO of FC Bayern, praised. In an SMS, he congratulated Leverkusen's managing director Fernando Carro and wished him every success with Alonso, whom he described as a "great type" who had learned among the best trainers in the world. Alonso, who played for clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid, led Leverkusen to the championship and the DFB Cup victory in the 2023/24 season.

After the title, FC Bayern also triumphed: Jan Dreesen congratulated Carro, while Oliver Kahn asked him about recent success in a humorous WhatsApp message. Kahn, who was CEO until the 2022/23 season, joked about the relief that the Leverkusen successes did not have to pursue under his supervision. Alonso, successfully in Leverkusen, rejected the coaching position at Bayern, while the Munich Vincent Kompany hired.
