Using any kind of words to praise Xabi Alonso right now is not enough, even if only a part of the Spanish teacher’s talent has been demonstrated.
At the time the new Spanish strategist took over in July 2022, Leverkusen was still ranked in the penultimate position on the rankings and very close to the relegation group.
But in the 2023/24 season, Leverkusen can do even greater things under the hands of Alonso.

At dawn on May 3, Leverkusen excellently defeated De Rossi’s flourishing Roma in the semi-finals of the first leg of the 2023/24 Europa League.
Now, Leverkusen still has the opportunity to win a historic treble (winning the Bundesliga championship, reaching the National Cup final and approaching the Europa League final).
Leverkusen’s current success is due to the board’s decisive appointment of Alonso.

Think about it, how many players play for both Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich?
We have mentioned 4 coaches who have won and are currently winning the European Cup/Champions League with all kinds of `problems` in their heads.

Former Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also praised Alonso.
Unfortunately, Bayern cannot have Alonso at this time because he decided to stay with Leverkusen for another year.
Now, Alonso – the representative face of the next generation of talented coaches in world football after Mourinho, Klopp, and Guardiola – is expected to be more `explosive` next season.
