Of course we don't but now let's wait and see cause I don't think Bayern will lose the league next season, plus he is going to lose some players as well
Just as I expected, he made the wise choice. Bravo Xabi, you are going to have a great career as a manager!!!
Gutted man, but this decision probably shows why this guy is so elite.

He’s waiting for ancelotti to leave Madrid
Good decision to take ❤❤
Loyalty matters. What a cool guy. He build an amazing team why would he leave…
Xabi is smart and humble, he mentions that he's young and wants to feel the process. The good thing from Xabi is he can communicate with several language and it makes him easy to unify the players with different nations. Can't wait to see him success with Leverkusen this year at least win Bundesliga title this year.
YES!! Finally, someone who doesn't just jump ship in 1 season. Hope Michel stays at Girona too

gute Nachricht für B04 und die Bundesliga. Man kann nur hoffen, dass sie auch das Team zusammen behalten können, dann könnte es ein guter CL run werden.
Nice to see FC Hollywood isn't going to be able to poach another manager from a rival like when they got Nagelsmann from Leipzig
Leverkusen 2 years---wins titles and experience. 2025 Real Madrid 3-4 years- wins titles and he coaches prime Mbappe Bellingham and co 2028 Bayern 3 years--he wins titles and dominates germany 2031- Long term job at Liverpool just like Klopp 8-9 years The Pep trajectory in football

@@ariannikqi I think It Will happen just like that. In the premier league coaches work 10 years or more for the same club, no pressure. Pep arteta klopp Ferguson wenger. At Real Madrid the pressure IS bigger you have to win every year, but he can take the BEST Squad Real Madrid ever created with prime Mbappe. Its the natural step. Bayern after that.

Should stay 3 years to make Harry Kane not win a trophy
Good. Let's make Leverkusen the new powerhouse of Europe!
As a young fan i think Mr Alonso staying at Leverkusen is good because it allows him to gain champions league experience and to strengthen Leverkusen for the better
My prayer he stays there for yrs, develops Leverkusen into a top team

They are a top team
I think he wants to have a crack at the CL with the group. Assuming the squad don't get gutted by the usual European big boys next season, I think they'll go far.
At least take a shot at the champions league with this team
great decision, even if i have hoped him to go to bayern munich. but for sure its better for him to stay and play championleague with leverkusen next season
Though I am very disappointed as a Liverpool fan, I admire his decision and he as a ex-red has all the best wishes and respect from me. I think he made a great decision, not for Liverpool obviously, but for him a future great manager. I hope he made this decision keeping only Leverkusen's future in mind, not for waiting for better opportunity in near future. Oneday Xavi, Oneday.
Going for back to back Bundesliga titles with Bayer would be a huge deal. Not to mention playing in CL.
Yes , he still needs the ucl title with this Leverkusen team
I agree with him on staying he has alr developed his type of way at the club so it makes perfect sense
That’s this fella will be top boss. No rush, sticks to his ways. Even as a Liverpool fan, good luck to him.
Alonso and arteta will go places if they stay put...
Respect!!
For once a football man who shows a little loyalty.WELL DONE.
He has confidence. Why would he need to rush... if he's not a one hit wonder he will have countless opportunities to train the biggest clubs in the world.
Jurgen klopp to change his mind. Here we go.

Right decision. Stay 2 more years and win something more .Leave after that .
as a RM fan 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
One word - SMART. You don't just happen to play in legendary Madrid and Bayern teams and win trophies, while working under two of the best managers (Jose and Pep) by fluke. He has lived different cultures and speaks different languages. Alonso is intelligent, articulate, and knows EXACTLY what he's doing. He will manage in the Champions League next season, where no one is expecting Leverkeusen to pull up any trees. If they do well again in the Bundesliga, he'll get credit. But if they don't, it'll be attributed to their European exertions, players being bought by other clubs, etc. He will not be faulted and his reputation will remain intact. He will also be seen as someone that is loyal and does not abandon projects at the first sight of a better opportunity. That's a win-win-win scenario if I ever saw one. Contrast that with going to Pool, where Klopp's shadow looms large. Let someone else step in and fail there. Also, why go to Bayern, where it's a circus? Even adding the best striker and defender in Europe - Kane and Kim - they could not win anything. They have deep-rooted problems that need sorting out. Instead, Alonso can just stay put at Leverkeusen and bide his time until Ancelotti leaves Madrid in 2026, and then he can go take over Los Blancos where he will manage Vinicius, Bellingham, and M'Bappe - all potential Ballon D'or winners!
On the right loop till Real Madrid comes in 2025 summer - bravo Xabi!
It's possible that he gets the Madrid job in 2024 because there is no way papa perez can allow ancelotti to remain as Madrid manager if we lose to man city...if we do lose then it could also lead to us bottling the league...

That‘s why World class players reject you, if Mbappe, Bellingham, Haaland, Xabi Alonso would see a possibility to have a successful time over there in Liverpool, then they would have joined. But no, it doesn‘t mean much to win Carabao Cup and FA Cup on 2 years basis. As for „my“ favourite team, I‘m more than happy that they compete and win titles every year, unlike Liverpool. Also, we don‘t try to brainwash people into thinking that world class players join us. Instead, they really join us without us speculating. Liverpool can learn a lot from us

@@PandaNew I am happy we have made many very good/world class players over the years than just buy a world class player. I won't lie, sometimes it would be nice buy one. We are not own by a state or follow a weak league or league where questionable financial dealing happens. For what resource Liverpool has they are trying to stay within financial fair play rules. We have put constraints on ourself so it doesn't backfire down the road. As a fan all I can ask of my team is to give 100% and play attractive brand of football. They tick both boxes. There is always next year.
