Bayern has been buying their league trophies over these years. Either they buy the best players of their rivals or the best manager in the league. Thank you Xabi for denying them that opportunity this time. Bayern now have to compete to get their next trophy.

They hardly bought the best manager when they signed Kovac. And what "best" players of other Bundesliga clubs did they buy the last couple of years? Upamecano or Goretzka? Neuer over a decade ago? Yes, Lewandowski (who wanted to leave Dortmund anyways). Gnabry was playing abroad, Sane was playing abroad. Kane, Coman, both from different leagues. Of course they would sign very good players and not poor performing players. But other teams signed players within the Bundesliga, too. When Dortmund signed Füllkrug, their aim was to weaken Bremen? I am glad that this decade of dominance is over, at least for one season. Back in the 80s, 90s, 00s Bayern never was this dominant. And it became unhealthy for the league. But the first couple of years when Bayern build this dominance with a golden generation of players (Lahm, Schweinsteiger etc.) they also brought in excellent managers and external ideas (van Gaal, Heynckes, Guardiola). Later they thought success would be normal and they slipped into mediocre decisions. Like signing a manager like Kovac, like promoting Kahn to be boss of the club. They thought it is enough be be a former Bayern player and that was a mistake.

No way ! Leverkusen has been on an extraordinary roll this season, nothing more and nothing less ! As soon as they lose and they will, things will normalise again. There is no way they will be anywhere near winning anything next season. It happened to so many surprise teams and so many managers who where celebrated one season and everything went wrong the next ! Look at Claudio Ranieri . Celebrated at Leicester for winning the Premier League and sacked the very next season as things suddenly didn't go as smooth.... Sometimes it's better to leave when you reached your climax as things won't get better!

Bayern Munich thought that they can buy all the best rival managers, players, and staffs. They are proven to be delusional when they sacked Julian naglesmann and appointed Thomas tuchel and they thought Thomas tuchel would win them another champions league or treble, but now they ended up being trophyless for more than a decade.

I’m not even that surprised for this guy’s decision. Even if Bayern was his old club, it’s too much responsibility and too much pressure on him to actually impress the club and their fans. Bayer leverkusen is much of a slower pace, it’s allowing him to evolve as a coach, maybe when the time comes for a new move for bigger clubs, it has to be in his own pace and for now…let him work his craft in a smaller club like bayer leverkusen. You can’t rush or force him to bend his will for you, he has to do it at his own pace.

We all know he's snubbed Bayern and Liverpool to join Madrid next summer

He will definitely be at Real in 2025 and will take the experience of potentially playing in the CL with Leverkusen with him.

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!

Respect to Alonso for not going to Bayern. Liverpool will figure it out, but Klopp is hard to replace.

My grandmother can win the leage and champions leage with real.

Tbf many managers make the mistake of jumping to a big club at first chance when some of them might not be ready, that said, it’s understandable for anyone to jump at a better job when is offered to them (we all will) so it really shows the character Xabi really is and how he is backing himself here. He believes that he will get another shot at a top, or even better, club than Bayern and Liverpool

Do you get your information from frabrizo Romano?

As a manager/player, you got to be smart and know when to make the right move. Build you small team and stay there and try let them become top level

Alonso made the right decision. Just you have one good season should not make you aim for a different, better job automatically. He know, he has a good job at the moment. A good squad, a club that backs him and would do if results would be not as exceptional as they are now. Moreover, if he moves away from Leverkusen just after one great season, how could he talk to players and make them stay at a club when they are in a similar situation? How could he expect players to be loyal etc.? He now showed his players that they can trust and rely on him. This trust builds a connection. He sends the message: We are not finished. This is not a one season project and the results of this season are not the end of the journey. This is good for him to make his players stay over the end of the season. And it will help him in the long run as a manager because clubs know that he is not a short term thinking manager. He will be there to stay if clubs trust him. The experience of managing a club for a longer time is important in this stage of his career. Regarding Bayern's new manager. Although German media speculated about many German managers, I think they should go for a foreigner. Someone who brings something from outside, even outside German football culture.

Good decision by Alonso. He still needs time to make mistakes with a smaller team and gaining much needed experience than to just jump to a bigger team which comes with a lot of pressure.

I think he has received a lot of love

Respect for loyalty im an arsenal support. It's good to see u can't always by ur way to victory like the richest clubs. alwayz do

Why is no longer me talking about pep linders ?

Typical Sky saying Alonso was “definetly “ going to Bayern. The Club never said that . What they said was they were confident he would choose Bayern and he said as much , if he left , it would be Bayern and not Liverpool. He was never going to Liverpool.

Its kind of distracting watching this reporter trying to get through her rehearsed speech and get it over the line rather then being interesting and a natural at it.

Melissa Reddy, the best female jouurnalist in foootball on the planet, just outstanding!

If he actually stays, I'll be very happy. This is what I wanted when there were rumours that he's joining Bayern or Liverpool. If he does stay, it'll be great. I think it would have been too soon to have left Leverkusen. Especially while he's in the middle or basically the start of doing something special. I really want to see how far he can push Leverkusen. Especially in the champions league. No, they won't win it. But Emery took Villareal to the semi finals and lost that semi finals game to a strong Liverpool side. They did well against them in both legs and I want to see how Leverkusen will do. The new champions league format will change a lot of things though. I hope he stays and doesn't change his mind. Definitely hope they stay unbeaten all season in all competitions and win the second best treble. Europa League will be the toughest out of the three at this moment as I see Liverpool winning that. But a Leverkusen vs Liverpool final would be insane. If Leverkusen actually pull it off and go the whole season unbeaten, either in just the league, or all competitions. Bayer Neverlusen would be the perfect nickname. I hope I don't jinx it and they keep this up. They still have a couple of very tough games in the league Liverpool may sign Naglesmann after the Euros. Unless he stays and wants to be there at the world cup too. Then I'm not sure who Liverpool are getting, if they don't get Naglesmann. Maybe RDZ

Melissa needs to have her sleeves tailored up

Their favourite son Gerrad is a disaster of a manager not even considered after years planning in thinking he would be the "perfect candidate" Then they went for probably the next Guardiola in Xabi Alonso who might not Leave Leverkusen So In the end,Liverpool will go for Didier Deshamps who should be available after the Euros..with MBAPPE joining him as their 1st signing after a remarkable turnaround... THAT WOULD BE SOME STORY...HAHa too bad it's just a fantasy ...😂😂😂

Who the hell “Jaffi Alonzo”… these media people are just disrespectful.

Let’s see how well he does next season after that Leverkusen squad gets picked apart in the summer transfer window. No way should we consider him again in the future, should next season go tits up and Real Madrid look elsewhere after Ancelotti.

If Alonso wins the German title this season, he may do it again in the next campaign. Hence, creating a history for himself at the club. Jumping ship to Liverpool may be a very risky gamble for him. He may end up empty-handed and back fired after succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. The wealth of past glories at Liverpool may in fact be a handicap to them as the expectation is

To be honest i don't mind Julian Nagelsmann, his tactics and playing style are quite similar as Jurgen klopp too.
