Now as long as he manages to lift Leverkusen there should be nothing to worry about as Xabi will be seen as quite a successful coach as the new coach he managed to lift Leverkusen from the mud after previously losing their way and being in a disadvantageous position.
Although it is certain that the championship trophy as a complement to success is definitely expected but as long as he can still play well until now even if he doesn't get a trophy I think it's very good for Xabi.
Now the opportunity is still there for him as a tribute to the club if he manages to lift the trophy as well as to make his name which has shot up and is predicted to be a better coach in the future but even if he still can't realize it I think he will still be very well seen as a coach.

It would indeed still be a significant achievement if Xabi Alonso can elevate Bayer Leverkusen without winning a championship. The ability to lift a team from a disadvantaged position and guide them to a more competitive standing is a testament to his managerial skills. The progress and improvement of the team itself are noteworthy achievements. He's been enhancing the performance of individual players and contributing to their development, it reflects positively on his coaching abilities. A coach's impact on the growth of the players and the team's overall skill level is a substantial marker of success.

If Alonso manages to instill a winning mindset, discipline, and a strong work ethic within the club, it signifies success beyond just winning a trophy. He is building a foundation for sustained success and creating a team that consistently competes at a high level can be more valuable than a one-time championship. Facing the challenges of coaching and steering a team through adversity requires resilience and patience. The support from stakeholders can be a strong indicator of the positive impact he's had on the team.
